Students of GBEEB Benin have been using sports to reach out to students on their campus. The activities included familiar sports like football, as well as other more intriguing games. 250 students were involved, from different religious backgrounds.<\/p>\n

Bibles and tracts were handed out to players and spectators, and several students professed faith. One of those was a first-year sociology student. Through studying the Bible and on-going discipleship, he\u2019s noticing changes in his life. GBEEB students pray on for those who heard the gospel, that many more would come to know the saving and transforming power of the gospel.<\/p>\n

The IFES Innovation Project supported this and many other student initiatives to share the gospel on campus in creative and innovative ways.
