SportsReach came into being in 1997, building on the established football league and adding soccer schools and international tours to its range of activities. Since then it has continue to grow locally, nationally and internationally with many hundreds of lives coming under the sound of the Gospel every year.
Based in the town of Carnforth, Lancashire, SportsReach concentrates the
majority of it's work in the UK, working with Schools, Churches and young
people. The rest of the time is spent helping and encouraging the Church
overseas.
This vibrant, independent ministry under
the local leadership of its directors, Will and Sue Marsden, continues to develop
and expand. As well as building and improving on the many successes of the
past, SportsReach, with God’s provision and guidance, is constantly seeking
new opportunities to introduce young and old alike to the Lord Jesus Christ.
In 2008 John Gorst joined the team as the
Administrator and at the beginning of 2011 Richard Sutton (Sooty) joined the work as
the School and Churches Co-ordinator. SportsReach has a board of trustees to which all staff
are accountable, who give their wisdom and insight to help see that the work
keeps to its principles. Much of the work is done by volunteers and our
associate workers, who give their time to work in every aspect of the
ministry, currently number around 20 which enables us to expand the Lord's
Ministry across Carnforth, the UK and the World!
