2024 REGISTRATION
(Lions football is a HS Club Football partnership between Kingdom Sports & Christian Life Academy, based in Central IL)
Foundation is Jesus Christ and the Word of God
Lions Football
is a training ground, for players and all involved, in doing life God’s way. Focused on how
to know Christ and to max out God-given ability for Him in the midst of football and life. This goes far beyond prayer to God before and after competition and into what it means “to be transformed into the likeness of His son.” (Romans 8:29) Redefining how we use the words Goal, Winning, Audience, and Motivation.
In Romans 12:1 Paul says “Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God – this is your spiritual act of worship.” Knowing the sacrifice made for us on the cross we are to offer all of ourselves to God as a sacrifice. This means that competing God’s way is a “holy and pleasing” offering to God and an “act of worship.”
Want to financially be a part of what all God is doing through this program? You would be helping with the cost for athletes to participate in what we believe will be a 20+ year return on their lives. Helping them in the process of who they are becoming and an investment in who they will be 20+ years from now.
Checks can be made and sent to Christian Life Academy, 222 Tremont St., Hopedale, IL 61747 with “Lions Football” in the memo.
