The primary aim of the Gospel Olympic was to engage non-church-going youth and foster meaningful connections through sports ministry and shared faith experiences. The organisers expressed hope that this initiative would leave a lasting positive impact on the lives of young participants, strengthening both community ties and spiritual growth.
