BIG NEWS for FIGHT CHURCH!!

/0 Comments/in /by

In addition to our affiliate ministries in Minnesota and Texas, we now have a FIGHT CHURCH ministry up & running in Georgia!!!
MMA is growing and so is FIGHT CHURCH!

MMA is the fastest growing sport on the planet and the ministry opportunities are amazing.  There is an MMA community in every major metro area in the US and most other countries.  These communities are made up of many, many people… fighters, both amateur & professional, coaches, managers, sponsors, promoters, business owners, etc. and their families.  On top of that, there are the fans!  The doors have been swung wide open and the sky is the limit because virtually nobody is reaching out to these people.  Sadly, we are the one and only ministry 100% dedicated to the MMA community here in Las Vegas, which is the fight capital of the world and home of the UFC.  Chances are the same thing would be true of wherever you are as well.  Consider Fighting the Good Fight with us!

If you want more info about MMA chaplaincy or even heading up a FIGHT CHURCH affiliate, shoot an e-mail to josh@fightchurch.com.  Also, if you know anyone who is an MMA fan, please let them know about FIGHT CHURCH!  Thanks so much!

P.S.

Maybe you don’t want to be an MMA Chaplain or head up a FIGHT CHURCH affiliate ministry, but you still want to help.  That is awesome and there are a million other ways to support us and join in the Fight.  Contact us for more info.  In the meantime, the quickest and easiest way to help is with our budget.  Every dollar counts!  Go to www.fightchurch.com/donate-2 to donate!

Brian Roberts, a Fight Church board member,was at cage-side thanks to Todd Owen of New Life Community (Owatonna High School, 10:30am Sundays, School Street entrance #16) The fights were exciting, with the heavyweight fight, several knock-outs and a submission in the main event stealing the show.

Busy Couple of Weeks for FIGHT CHURCH

Busy Couple of Weeks for FIGHT CHURCH

 

I have some super exciting news to share with you and I promise to keep things short… here we go!

First, FIGHT CHURCH has a brand new board member. His name is Pastor Brian Roberts. He is currently working with a church plant project in Minnesota. This past week, Pastor Brian, traveled here to Las Vegas to do a short “missions trip” with us in order to help out and become more familiar with our ministry. I had a great time showing him what we do here with our FIGHT CHURCH MMA Chaplain ministry. We had the opportunity to visit all our regular gyms, speak with many fighters/coaches, interview UFC fighter Justin Wren and even worked a charity fight event at XTREME COUTURE!

 

Pastor Brian came to Vegas because he thought that we had a great “idea” for a “potential” ministry opportunity. However, once he arrived and saw what has been accomplished over the last year with the gyms, fighters and organizations, he was very impressed and wanted to be involved. The more we shared with one another, the more we knew we were on the same page and wanted to work together. He has a passion for ministry, experience in sports chaplaincy, and is a fan of MMA. He is going to be a tremendous asset to the FIGHT CHURCH team. That is why I am excited and proud to make this official announcement!

 

Second, I was invited by my friend and former Kempo instructor, Pastor Pasqual, to share a little bit about FIGHT CHURCH to the Men’s Ministry of International Church of Las Vegas which runs right around 200 men.  Things went very well and I met some great men.  One of those men was Jayson McDonald.  Jayson told me that he had been waiting for a ministry like FIGHT CHURCH to come along and that he would love to help out.  So, just two days later, we put Jayson to work with me and Pastor Brian at the charity fight event.  He had a great time and plans to help us out as often as possible!

 

Third, the end of the year is quickly approaching and we have several events, projects and purchases coming up that we absolutely need help with in order to make them possible! I will not go into detail here, but if you are interested in being a part of something amazing, shoot me an e-mail or give me a call ASAP!

 

Fourth, Help us out by telling your friends, family, pastor, etc. about us.  Keep in mind that it doesn’t matter if they are a fan of MMA or not.  FIGHT CHURCH is about loving & ministering to people!  The more people that know about us and partner with us, the more we can do that!  So, forward my e-mails,“friend” me on facebook and “like” our FIGHT CHURCH facebook page, follow me on TWITTER @pjoshboyd and wear one of our sweet FIGHT CHURCH shirts, which you can purchase at www.fightchurch.bigcartel.com!

 

Finally, I will be posting the Justin Wren interview very soon.  There are a ton of events coming up including SCC 3 at the Orleans Arena on November 4th.  I am so happy that FIGHT CHURCH will be working that event!  It will be our very first time working with this impressive new professional MMA organization.

 

Please be in prayer for us.  Thank you so much!
