All kinds of freestylers and believers meet once a year at the “freakstock festival” in Germany. Beside concerts, worship and meetings, it’s common to visit a workshop. The Actionsport Team of SRS offered a “Ready- Set- Go Training” about how to start an action sports ministry. The team’s goal was to equip and empower Christians within their sport network to live God’s purpose in action sport . 20 people from various backgrounds showed up including a paraglider pilot from Switzerland, a climber from Frankfurt and snowboarders who are living in a ski resort. There were also a group of local skaters who run a skate park as a chapter of “Jesus Freaks”. All of them are looking to start or improve their ministry. The training highlighted the potential of action sports, how to reach this culture and gave some practical advice collected from the world’s most established ministries. The session was filled with prayer and personal questions. After 1.5hrs, the participants left with a storybook of running local ministries in Germany to encourage them on their way.
