Global Impact

who we are

Cede Sports, formerly The Sports Outreach Group, was born out of a need to mobilize churches and chaplains into sports ministry built upon relational outreach. Bob Dyar founded the ministry after recognizing a gap which existed with both churches and sports chaplains: the lack of access to relational models of ministry to meet people where they are.

Sports opens the door. To make a long-term impact, however, we must be a part of people’s lives. Our history includes a growing chaplain ministry at Joe Gibbs Racing, new staff and 25 years of growth. In those 25 years, we have worked with thousands of local churches in five continents and sports chaplains in more than 100 countries. We currently have staff and associates in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa.

Along the way, our vision to mobilize churches and chaplains has remained constant. Our hope will always be to see God continue to use the universal language of sports to reach others for his glory.
