What: "Moving with Purpose" chess ministry
When: Saturday, March 29th from 9am-12pm
Where: Celebration Church Summit building in room S208
Who: Open to all who enjoy the game of chess and to those wanting to learn the game. We will focus on how to use chess as a vehicle to make life/biblical values tangible and at the same time cultivate the development of young minds.
Bring your favorite chess board/set if you can!
We are honored to have Ruan Cilliers leading this training. He lives in South Africa and is the executive director of a youth ministry organization called Sihamba Sonke, which means "walking together". Ruan authored the book "Moving with Purpose" which we will use in this training to explore how to turn the game of chess into a path to Christ.
As a competitive advantage chess in itself develops higher thinking skills and therefore opened the door for schools and youth groups to adopt the programme. Practically, we use chess as an analogy to link each of the chess pieces to a principle-based life value, serving as a foundation to battle our brokenness. (from Ruan's website sihambasonke.org)
