Norma Jean Evans' 2011 Athlete, Coach & Ambassador for Christ Spiritual Transformation Retreat – A strength and conditioning retreat designed to develop spiritual “muscles,” life (survival) skills and character. Through her own testimony and life lessons, Norma Jean Evans understands that many athletes (amateur and professional), coaches and ambassadors spend an inordinate amount of time and resources developing their physical bodies and skills, without addressing the core character base. To be successful in the sports, coaching, media, entertainment, business, politics and other arenas, both spiritual and physical aspects must be properly developed. Christian athletes and ambassadors for Christ are given a platform to shine, but what is the light they are projecting? It has been said that money amplifies the underlying character of a person. Just as much time, if not more, needs to be focused on character development as development of the outer shell (physical body). As representatives of Christ, the athlete, coach and ambassador for Christ should always reflect the glory of God, positively influencing, equipping and building the next generation! Theme Scripture: Romans 12:1-2 - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
