A Historic Opportunity
We invite you to join with us for our 9th Summer Olympic mission. 'REACH-OUT 2016 BRAZIL' will take place during the XXXI Games in Rio de Janeiro August 5th – 21st 2016.
For 16 days every four years, the eyes of the world are focused on the Host City for the Olympics. Billions of people are glued to their televisions and seemingly no one, anywhere is unaffected by this ‘Olympic fever’.
Every activity of the great Olympians is meticulously reported by the thousands of global media representatives as ‘headline news’……
Being aware of this tremendous platform afforded the Olympians – and because of our access to them, lay Witnesses for Christ International will for the ‘9th’ time – maximize this unbelievable opportunity.
LWFCI’s experience in proclaiming JESUS CHRIST during the Olympics is unparalleled and the participation of the great athletes and incredible ministry partners is simply unprecedented!
Dr. Sam & Sharon Mings
"Chaplains to the World's Champions"
Over the past 38 years, we have ministered to, and alongside, Olympic champions, world-class athletes, dynamic pastors, exciting ministry leaders, renowned coaches and many more people who use their talents to see God glorified.
We reach out globally using the world of sports to positively impact others, especially youth, with the life-saving message of Jesus Christ.
Lay Witnesses for Christ International was founded by Sam Mings and his wife Sharon. "Our focus has always remained the same: To impact our world for Jesus Christ!"
From the time Dr. Mings stepped out and made himself available as a witness for Jesus Christ, God has blessed and super naturally multiplied the ministry. God has brought many willing, serving hearts that have been used to grow Lay Witnesses for Christ International into a global, sports-focused ministry that uses the platform of world-class athletes to reach young people with the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.
Dr. Mings has had the blessing to be there when Olympians have recognized their need to be saved by Christ, and then has watched them grow to be great witnesses themselves. From the Christian Athlete of the Year Awards, to the Right Track Drug, Alcohol & Violence Prevention Program, to our Host City Outreaches, to many other sports-oriented, life-changing events, Sam and Sharon have seen thousands of souls impacted for the glory of God.
Dr. Mings and LWFCI conclude every encounter with the gospel proclamation, resulting in literally thousands of athletes having received Jesus Christ. These athletes, in turn, use their platform to share their personal relationship with hundreds of millions around the world through various forms of media.
