A few thoughts and some scripture with MMA Chaplain Josh Boyd…
These are just a few thought that I wanted to share about a couple passages of scripture… My hope and prayer is that it will be encouraging to everyone who sees it. I would love to get your feedback. My plan is to begin posting at least one video like this each week. If you have a topic, a question, a favorite passage of scripture, etc… please let me know and I will take a look and see what I can do!

Great stuff!
Sidenote: If anyone could put me in touch with Kevin James, that would be awesome. I have a feeling that he would be very interested to hear about what we are doing with FIGHT CHURCH!

I just got back from a whirlwind Fight Church Trip to Indiana! Here is a little of what went down…
Wednesday, August 1st
I flew out of Vegas at 2am, landed at O’Hare in Chicago at 7am and caught the bus to Portage, IN. Had meetings with pastors and supporters throughout the day. Spoke in the Youth Service at Central Ave Church of God!
Thursday, August 2nd
Taped an episode of the PTL Show at the TBN affiliate in Indianapolis. This went super well. A local pastor and his wife interviewed me for 30 full minutes about FIGHT CHURCH. I will let you know how you can see it when it is available!
From there we headed to Fort Wayne where I did a “Missions Window” in Young Adult service at First Assembly of God.
Friday, August 3rd
I had a day of great meetings with pastors and supporters in Indianapolis. Then, I headed down to Sullivan, IN to speak at the Life Church Men’s Summit. What an incredible event! At a time when most churches struggle to have a Men’s Ministry at all, Life Church had 50+ men at this event that took place hours from their homes!
Saturday, August 4th
I had the privlege and honor of doing a wedding at Deep River Park in Hobart, IN for a Army buddy of my brother. After that, i had a couple of meetings and then headed to a UFC on FOX Viewing Party at Jay Berry’s house in Portage, Indiana.
Sunday, August 5th
Back down in the Indianapolis area to do a “Missions Window” in the AM services at Life Church in Fishers, IN. Had a great time! Then I was off to Current Church in Franklin, IN to hang with our friends there and do a “Missions Window”. Had an amazing time in an incredible service. Shared about FIGHT CHURCH and sold out of shirts!
Monday, August 6th
Spent the day in Kokomo, IN meeting with folks and sharing about FIGHT CHURCH!
Tuesday, August 7th
Spent the day in Terre Haute meeting with pastors and friends talking about FIGHT CHURCH!
Wednesday, August 8th
Spent the day in Fort Wayne, IN meeting with pastors and friends talking about FIGHT CHURCH more! That night I spoke for a big youth event called FIGHT NIGHT at Grqace Gathering in New Haven, IN. I had a super time and would love to be a part of their future FIGHT NIGHT events!
Thursday, August 9th
I reconnected with a few folks, packed up and headed to South Bend, IN to fly back home to Vegas!
This was a crazy trip of zig zagging all over the state. It went very well… All the churches that I was able to connect with blessed us way more than expected. All the pastors and others that I was able to meet with were very supportive. I was encouraged and am super excited about the future and all the potential ministry partnerships that could come form this trip.
I hope to plan another trip to Indiana in the spring!
If you would like more details about this adventure, please call or e-mail me!

A new FIGHT CHURCH t-shirt design idea… what do you think?
2012 is going to be incredible!
Just a quick update…
Greetings from beautiful, sunny Las Vegas, NV! We hope your holiday season was amazing! 2012 is going to be an incredible year for FIGHT CHURCH. The sport of MMA is exploding and things here in Vegas, the hub of this international sports phenom, are going nuts. There are more and more MMA events, more and more MMA promotions, and more and more MMA athletes! The MMA gyms are busting at the seams and many coaches are branching out and opening new facilities.
Here at FIGHT CHURCH we have our work cut out for us. We are excited and thankful to be working in all 4 of the biggest gyms here in town, but are planning to double that this year by expanding to some of the other gyms that are growing. We will be recruiting and training many more volunteers so we are able to work at as many events as possible.
Our website will be undergowing some changes in the near future. In 2011, we had plans to do more video and post more regular updates. Unfortunetly, we were unable to post nearly as often as we would had hoped and video proved to be more of a challenge than we thought. However, we are on track now and have even began filming some items. We have a couple of things in the works and our goal is to post a few different things every week. Be on the look out!
We are finalizing some very specific goals for this year and will be sharing them with you very soon. In the meantime, we are super excited about this year and the opportunity to continue ministering to the MMA community. Thank you so much for your support in 2011… Let’s Fight the Good Fight!
Amazing Randy Couture Art!
Various autographed items!
So, here’s the deal…
FIGHT CHURCH is looking for some partners to help out with our 2012 budget. We know that things are tight for a lot of people right now, that there are a ton of other great organizations out there and we just want to make sure that we take care of everyone who choose to join us in “the good fight”.
The reality is that in order to continue the amazing ministry we are doing here in Las Vegas with the MMA community, we need several individuals and churches to help us out on a monthly basis. For the last year, we have operated with just a handful of incredible people and one church helping us out. Despite having limited resources and a bare bones budget, all of FIGHT CHURCH’s goals and expectations have been blown away! That is why we are super excited to see what the Lord does this year with the addition of many more FIGHT CHURCH Fight Club members!
Now is the time to join!
So, what’s up with the pics? Simple. The super cool framed Randy Couture poster that is autographed by both Randy and the artist will go to the next person who signs up to be a $100 or more monthly sponsor. The next 10 people to sign up as a $35 or more monthly sponsor will receive one of the other autographed items. In addition, all monthly sponsors will get a FIGHT CHURCH t-shirt!
If you are interested in one of these opportunities, have any questions, or just want to chat, please send me an e-mail at josh@fightchurch.com or give me a call at 702-494-8106!
