The Gospel of John in English (ESV), Spanish (RVC) and French (NFC).

The Great Play is an evangelistic insert created especially for the 2026 World Cup, with the purpose of presenting the gospel in a creative, contextualized, and accessible way to people engaged in the world of sports. Using the language of soccer and its metaphors—such as training, rules, coach, team, and trophy—the material organizes its content into “halves of the game,” each one addressing aspects of the Christian life based on biblical passages and inspiring reflections. It is intended for fans, youth, athletes, and people with no connection to the Christian faith, promoting values such as integrity, perseverance, community, and eternal hope.

The insert is structured into seven sections: Training (the discipline of faith), The Rules of the Game (living with integrity), Meet the Coach (Jesus, our guide), Playing as a Team (the strength of community), Facing Defeat (perseverance and hope), and The Final Whistle and the Trophy (eternal victory). Each section presents a central biblical theme, texts based on translations such as the NTLH, practical applications, and engaging language to connect faith and sport. “The Great Play” is therefore an effective evangelistic tool that transforms the world’s passion for soccer into an opportunity to share the transforming message of the gospel of Christ.
