On The Field Series: Bill Wise

Out of a desire for you to understand more of what we do we decided to invite the people on the field to tell you themselves. In these blogs you will hear from the hands and feet of our ministry as they tell you how their story intersects with CEDE Sports. 

Meet Bill Wise..

Bill serves as the Family Activities and Singles Minister at Central in College Station, TX. Q: How did you get connected with CEDE?

A: At the REACH Conference in Rockwall, Texas in 2017.  I struck up a conversation with one of the mentors from CEDE Sports and started to find out about what they do and I took a business card. At the conference we attended a few sessions taught by the staff of CEDE Sports and I realized this is something we need to take advantage of and have been rocking with them since.

Q: What has been the impact of your involvement with CEDE?

A: Our reach to coaches discipleship and accountability has vastly improved since. We have changed how we do our devotional times due to this relationship and seen kids and families grow because of it. Our meeting times with CEDE folks have been helpful in our development as ministers by seeing things from a different perspective.

Q: Why would someone in sports, Rec and fitness get involved with CEDE?

A: It is another tool in the toolbox for growth, guidance, ideas and support. Their knowledge and resources are something we couldn’t get somewhere else. They are able to assist us in seeing things from different perspectives, what has worked somewhere else and walking through the process of making things work here. I highly recommend them working with any sports ministry that wants to improve.
