A pastor's heart for... cyberathletes

Last week's sermon was really important. I think that I also have not fully grasped its significance. Remember pastor asked us to ask God to put in our hearts a land where we want to pastor over. God placed in my heart the land of elite/competitive computer gamers. Elite computer gaming at the moment in singapore is a bit like street racing (Think tokyo drift/fast and furious/need for speed underground) and has little to no christian influence.

In addition to athletes playing regular sports, cyber atheltes will now get my attention as well. This will take a change of heart on my part because i need to repent for looking down on these guys. I didn't really like that they called themselves "Athletes"... what a misuse of the term... something like golf!

But now, even though i still dont beleive that its a sport ahah, i choose not to look down upon them in any way any more. and instead ask God to give me a pastoral and fatherly heart for them.

I ask God to give me the elite cyber gamers so that I may reach them and they may know Jesus. May God's glory shine in the world of competitive gaming through me.

God Bless,
Jonathan
