Abstract

This project is focused on the function of a sports mission, in this case a soccer club for Korean children in Gang-Nam Methodist Church. It demonstrates how to develop the mission for grade five and six children who have never attended church. The team has practiced in a playground where moral and religious education have taken place every Saturday and Sunday. Through this program, they formed a community and became evangelized. The sports mission also aims to help the children become responsible individuals. It is designed with careful consideration of every stage of the children's development with regard to Erikson's educational theory. The mission also aims to evangelize the parents through the children. Regarding Johan Huizinga's idea and argument on 'homo ludens,' this project attempts to contribute to the discussion on 'play theology' which is mainly being led by Jürgen Moltmann, Harvey Cox, and David L. Miller. The project is also a follow-up of how the children form a relationship with the church and start to have faith in their life through the training.
