What is More Than Gold (MTG)?
It is a growing network of denominations, churches,
Christian institutions and individuals, gathering in preparation for the
influx of hundreds of thousands of visitors to the 2010 games.
The Vancouver/Whistler Olympic and Paralympic Winter
Games (February/March 2010) provide the local church with a tremendous
opportunity to reach a large number of people. It is also a unique
opportunity for churches to work together in service and ministry to
athletes, their families, Games officials and organizers, as well as the
many visitors; and to host community events that connect with the overall
interest in the event.
Legacy – beyond the games
Leaders throughout Metro Vancouver and the Fraser
Valley agree that this initiative is catalyzing an unprecedented network of
unity, one they hope will leave a legacy.
