"I love the sense of satisfaction that I get when I’ve done a swimming workout or race, and know that I gave my whole being and heart to God in every moment of the swim. It’s the best worship I can offer him."
IPC World Athletics 2015
The IPC World Athletics Championships took place in Doha last month and Stuart was there, writing and supporting athletes. On Friday he organized a group of 8 athletes to attend church. Why Friday? Because that is the day the church has its "Sunday" service. He also led a Bible Study for athletes.The following images will give you a flavour of the event.
