Matthew 9:35-38 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.” I had a burning desire to somehow get more involved in my community and share the gospel in a way that I knew how and in a way that led me. My wife and I were led to join Crossfit Jax and we were so blessed to have been able to get so close to the coaches and other members so quickly. I knew this was the box for us. I quickly got invited to a small group bible study from my now good friend Chris Russell. Now I was getting really excited because not only was God working in me physically but also spiritually in an environment I love. I saw that Faith Rxd was starting chapters and I knew that I was in the right place to start a chapter. This group is meant for anyone who loves Crossfit or any sport for that matter, and to have a chance to share what God has done for you and for us as a community to come together and share the gospel. We intend to use bible study within our gyms and within our community along with fellowship with each other to build us up. This is a place where you can share you hurts and where satan might be working his way into your life and you need prayer or plainly just someone to be there for you. I am so blessed to have the opportunity to lead a great cause but this is not going to be successful without our sport and fitness community getting involved together and throwing out those seeds that God has given us. So friends go tell everyone you know about the great things God is doing and send them here and lets pour our hearts out to our community and fill each other up with love and lets build each other up physically and spiritually! I envision multiple gyms coming together for a devotion or even a night of prayer. And a good workout! Lol! If you arent involved in a small group study at your gym and you want to start one but dont know how let me know and I will gladly help. If there is a community service project you need help organizing let us know and more importantly if you are not involved in your local church I suggest you go out and connect to one because that is so very important.
