The Mission
The Yellow Card Initiative exists to use the global game of soccer to share the gospel with the nations.
The Strategy
The Yellow Card Initiative seeks to engage the nations with the gospel through the global game of soccer, creating natural opportunities to share the good news of Jesus. Our goal is to invite people to surrender their lives to Him, experience forgiveness, and begin life under His rule.
- Engaging where people already gather – using soccer events as natural points of contact with fans who may never have heard the gospel.
- Presenting the gospel clearly – the gospel is primarily about God’s power and glory to save, and the joy we experience in His grace.
- Connecting across cultures – soccer is a global language; we use it to reach people of every nation in ways they understand and appreciate.
- Encouraging response and discipleship – not just an encounter, but inviting people to turn to Christ, join His family, and grow in flourishing under His reign.
