Origins
Basketball
Intensive
Get rooted in God, grow your skills, and
impact the world through basketball.
You’ve probably felt it… That nagging sense that there must be more to this Christian life than what you’re experiencing.
There has to be more you can do with your love of the game than just playing for yourself. Do you want to grow in your faith, grow in the game you love, and help others fall in love with God and the game of basketball?
Then Origins is for you.
The Origins Basketball Intensive offers an incredible opportunity to make an impact in the world through your passion for basketball, while also having your eyes opened to the reality of who God is and all that He has for you.
Origins is the perfect blend of missions and basketball training. In a unique partnership, YWAM Philippines Impact is collaborating with a number of professional coaches and trainers to provide life-changing spiritual growth and world-class basketball training.
You’ll grow in your walk with God like never before, and become a better player and teacher of the game. You’ll leave equipped with the tools you need to have a lifelong impact in both basketball and for the Kingdom of God.
Win men for the Master through the gym.
The history of basketball has a very interesting connection with Christian missions that many don’t know about.
James Naismith, a young Christian attending Montreal’s Presbyterian Theological College, discovered that he could be more effective using sports rather than the pulpit. Having a desire to disciple young people, James sought a sport that could be used as a tool. Basketball became that tool. Who would have imagined using basketball as a way to help fulfill the Great Commission and make disciples of all nations?
Basketball was first cross-culturally spread around the world by YMCA missionaries in its early stages, but that has since dwindled. It’s now time to come back to the origins of basketball. As James Naismith would say, it’s time to “win men for the Master through the gym.”
