HALLELUJAH FC- Using football to preach the gospel

Hello blog world,

I will like to start off my blogging by telling the story of a football club set up in South Korea for christian missionary work. Hallelujah Fc, set up in 1980 was the first professional club set up in South korea. The club won the first k-league title consisting mainly of christian evangelical players. This development as shown that Football and sports in general is a good tool in preaching the gospel of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. This is a club that is financially dependent on churches, individuals and the local council to get by due to lack of sponsorships from companies. God as been the main sponsor of the club. Hallelujah fc is not the only club to be set up by a group of christians. Big clubs like Rangers fc of scotland set up by a group of protestants and Celtic fc set up by a group of catholics, but these clubs are not religion minded, infact there is nothing to show people of there christian link apart from there history. Portsmouth fc has taken the bold step by being the first professional club to promote christianity by working with a charity founded by one of their players LINVOY PRIMUS called FAITH & FOOTBALL . This organisation was set up with the aim of using football to preach the gospel .
