PTG STUDIOS “Today’s Family” show to feature Gospel Publishing House/MEGA Sports Camp

July 11, 2007, Deerfield Beach, FL –Platinum Productions TV is pleased to announce that Gospel Publishing House/MEGA Sports Camp will be featured on its innovative, educational television series, Today’s Family. The company will be featured in a segment on “Touching Hearts and Changing Lives:  Getting America Involved” in the show’s America’s Best Series.

If you grew up in a Christian household, chances are you remember the summers filled with Vacation Bible School.  Mostly, it consisted of creating macaroni art and listening to a Sunday school teacher tell a Bible story while she pressed paper figures onto a felt background.  Fast-forward to today’s generation:  Today’s kids aren’t going to sit still for anything!  They want to run, toss a basketball, or kick a goal through the net!  And macaroni art?  Please! 

So how can you get the message of Christ’s love to a group of restless kids who only want to play?  The answer lies with MEGA Sports Camp, a program developed by Tim Conrad in partnership with Gospel Publishing House that brilliantly compares Bible stories with comparable stories of contemporary real-life sports heroes – all within a fun sports-filled curriculum.  MEGA Sports Camp is not only a great alternative to traditional VBS programs, it is also an excellent outreach program that churches can use to reach local children in the community, and in turn, their families.

The segment will educate viewers on the story and philosophy behind MEGA Sports Camp.  Viewers will also explore the programs, curriculum, development and outreach. 

Many of the values shared by today’s most prominent sports figures are the same as those taught in the Bible.  Compare the inspiring story behind Olympic legend Wilma Rudolph with the Biblical story of Paul and Silas in prison to learn about endurance; or the story of Peter walking on water to Kerri Strug’s incredible gold-metal performance at the 1996 Summer Olympics, despite torn ligaments in her ankle, to illustrate faith.  There are other stories that emphasize values like teamwork, perseverance and sacrifice.  These and other values are emphasized at MEGA Sports Camp.
