Tokyo 2020 becomes 2021!

(Reporter Tom Ellis, trying out Wheelchair Basketball in Tokyo)

The Coronavirus outbreak has left the team here at Passion For Sport eagerly awaiting news on what organisers will do about the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games. After much pressure from governing bodies and the athletes themselves, earlier this week the International Olympic Committee (IOC) finally announced that the Games & the Paralympics will be postponed until 2021, with the aim of holding it by the summer.

Now that we know about this delay, we can plan for Tokyo 2021 and other than the date, nothing else has changed in our eyes! We are still 100% committed to covering the Games and to supply content for radio stations around the world.

Please join us in prayer as we continue to watch and wait like the rest of the world for further clarity!

Entertainment Fundraiser on 7th March!

Are you free on 7th March?

In July this year, Passion for Sport will be the only sports media agency reporting from the Olympic Games in Tokyo with a Christian perspective. Our aim is to introduce sports fans to Jesus through media using radio, online and social media.

We're delighted to announce that UK- based journalist Russ Bravo will be joining our team in Tokyo. Russ is the former editor of Christian Herald and Inspire Magazine and he’s passionate to use his media skills and love for sport to help introduce sports fans to Jesus. In his spare time Russ feeds another passion of his, comedy, as co-founder and resident MC of Matt’s Comedy Club in Worthing. 

Russ’ church, St Matthews, Worthing, is fully behind his short-term mission assignment with us in Tokyo and they are actively supporting him financially and in prayer. On Saturday 7th March, from 7.30pm, Russ has a fundraiser at St Matthews. It’s going to be an evening’s entertainment. 

The first half will be an hour of music featuring local musicians and bands and the second half will feature an hour of comedy with local stand-ups, acts and some videos from a few well-known Christian comedians. Please secure your tickets by emailing russbravo@virginmedia.com. Tickets are £10- available both from Russ, and on the door on the night.

If you’re not able to join the fun please pray for Russ as he raises his costs for the Tokyo assignment and that the event on 7th March will be a great success!
