Terrible loss for the MMA community!

All kinds of stuff going on with FIGHT CHURCH!  We did our first run of t-shirts!  Bellator fighter Josh Burns was happy to sport one for us.  That was cool, thanks, Josh!  If you would like a shirt, let me know!  All monthly supporters get one as a thank you, but we are also selling them for $20!

Reed Harris of ZUFFA was just down the street from my house talking to the guys at ESPN Radio about the huge UFC/FOX announcement.  I had the chance to pop in and say, “Hello!”

There are 100+ facilities here in the Las Vegas valley that offer martial arts instruction.  Many of them are connected to MMA.  It is our goal to partner with as many of these facilities as possible and offer to them our Chaplain services.  We are currently working in the 4 largest facilities here in Vegas, but are always looking for more opportunities.  Just this past week I was able to stop by the GAURDIANS gyms that is right around the corner from my house and meet the staff.  I will be swinging by there on a regular basis and will probably try out a few classes. 

This past weekend was the Superior Cage Combat’s second event.  It was amazing!  I had hoped to work the event, but was happy to attend.  This was the first time that I was able to have both my boys with me at an event and we had fun!  We visited all the booths and handed out FIGHT CHURCH flyers.  We were even invited to officially be a part of the XTREME COUTURE Open House event on September 10th.  This will be a great opportunity to let people know who we are and what we are about!  SCC is doing an incredible job and has another event planned for November.  It would be great to be able to partner with them and work that event!

As you may know, we recently partnered with the TAPOUT Training Facility and have been doing weekly visitation there.  This has been going really well.  I have had the chance to talk with several athletes and am getting to know the staff.  What you may not know is that recently TAPOUT suffered a horrible loss.  Tragedy struck when one of their main coaches, Shawn Tompkins, passed away suddenly.  This huge loss has shocked the MMA community, but especially those on Tompkins’ team at TAPOUT.  Our thoughts and prayers are with them as they deal with this terrible situation.

In addition to working on a partnership with SCC, I am trying to get FIGHT CHURCH into SIN CITY FIGHTS and MMA XPLOSION!  This weekend, we will be working at the TUFF-N-UFF event at the Cox Pavillion and attending a UFC RIO viewing party hosted by a local church here in town.  Many things in the works… please continue to pray that we will be able to help out and ministry in as many ways possible!

Also, September 1st is our 1 year anniversary.  Our goal is to officially “launch” this thing to a whole other level!  We have come a long way, but there is so much more to be done.  We need your help!  Please consider a one-time donation or becoming a monthly supporter.  Just click the “donate” tab right here on the website.  It’s quick, safe and easy!  Thank you!
