Team Statistics

80% of inmates will not attend a formal religious program, but they will attend an athletic event in large numbers. SPM uses athletics to fuel attendance at these events, but our true purpose is to reach men and women with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, allowing them to experience the transforming power of God’s love.

For that reason, the Team Statistics listed do not show free throw shooting percentages, or batting average. These statistics reflect the “success” of our teams in drawing people to Jesus and leading them to the foot of the cross.

Team statistics include how many men or women attended a particular event, how many of them stayed to hear the Gospel presented clearly, the number of inmates who made a profession of faith at that event, and the number of Gospels we distributed at that event.

Our Sports teams are made up of all volunteer athletes who love the Lord Jesus Christ and strive to represent Him in everything we do. These teams minister seasonally to inmates around the country in basketball, soccer, softball, and volleyball.

Announcements

Thank you for your patience and prayers, especially this year. We are deeply saddened to announce that the 2020 NE Softball season is officially canceled.

We worked most recently to reschedule the NE softball season into a compressed 6 week fall blitz but, despite our best efforts, there is no one willing to commit to rescheduling any longer and they aren’t even discussing fall options for any sport at this time. Know that we did not make this decision lightly, however this is clearly the direction the Lord is leading for this year.

The August KY crusade is also now officially cancelled.

Our crusade to Georgia in September is still on at this time, and we are in constant contact with the state keeping up-to-date with any changes that are happening and are hopeful the DOC will open soon.
