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.

Basketball team is heading to the Finger Lakes! Finger Lakes 2018 will see our basketball crusade visit 5 prisons in 4 days, and in just those four days we expect to preach to almost 1,000 men! Please begin praying for the trip now: the men who are going the families they leave behind, and the inmates that God is already preparing to hear the Gospel!

Softball crusades are open to every one! Crusade destinations include Colorado, Indiana, and Florida and these are not limited to current missionary-athletes. If you love softball and Jesus, visit the crusade website for more information

Our NJ Soccer team is having a recruiting day on May 19th. If you have wondered what it is like to play a sport you love…in prison…for the Kingdom, now is your chance! Any soccer player who has a relationship with Jesus Christ is welcome to join us for one day in a PA prison. But time is fleeting and paperwork has to be done, so contact the Saints office now at 609-845-3197 for more information
