Yes we would accept the person/gamers. As would Jesus but they most conduct them self in line with the G4C code. http://www.gamers4christ.org/the-code/

Can you, like, cut the bible thump talk and stick to talking about video games and business?
Also you don’t need to post the long list of credits after each and every post…
Did you have a bad day. lol
Thats our contact info. 
BTW, Im just answering questions with the scripture.
Removed the contact info at the end just for you.
You want to be taken seriously by anyone; don’t do that. It’s no different than any corporation sending some fool out to yap business-speak; or more commonly referred to as “B.S.”. People are asking you direct questions, as ridiculous as some of them may be. It would serve your purpose better if you were to answer them directly, preferably in your own words rather thank yanking a quote from a book.

Hey guys, check out this Sam Harris and Ben Stiller pic. They look the same. Oh hey check out this facebook post my fb friend made. Yes, i make fun of people who I know behind their backs.
Oh wait, i’m not in the circle jerk that is /r/atheism. WTF is up with my browser?
Shout outs to the OP for making people mad.
I went back and read some of the stuff on your site and some of your other comments here. First congratulations on all that. So now I know you hold local events, good.
Your post covered online events and outreach service. I’m curious to know how you measure ‘led gamers to Christ’ at MLG 2011. Is it by testimonial, baptism, attendance, a poll?
Outreach and promotion aren’t the same so when I asked “What are you representing” it was more in regards to the ratio of attention and dynamics of how the games, the players, the business, and Christian values coexist without conflict.
If you are willing promote anti-christians playing non-christian games, I think it’s fair to ask what are you representing, when its comes to intention, rational, and purpose of such sponsorships.
Is G4C a business and how does it generate income?
What exactly does a G4C sponsorship entail? Are there fees/ dues?
When you sponsor a player, do you guys cover their hotel and travel expenses?
How we measure? That is a long conversation… We could talk on xbl live. We do the most we can with what we have and its all by the grace of God that we do anything. For one thing. Its not about the numbers as much as it is about making deep impact on each gamer we meet. So we try not to focus on the numbers because we arent trying to turn profit but souls. Now we would like to have so many enter into our tournaments we host but again we arent so numbers focused as we are as being present for the gamers at events and online when they are in need.
What are you representing is a broad question. So that’s why I gave you a list of thing we accomplished and again Im not bragging because it was only by the grace of God that this ministry ever started. Without God this would be nothing… You kind of came at me with an attitude as well. Not the best approach if your wanting to be taken serious.
We might support but I don’t know that we would promote anti or non christian players. Although we don’t judge them. Again some of this is new areas but we are open. Although players must conduct them self in a professional manner and in line with The G4C code or we won’t help them at all…
G4C is going to be a 501C3 so no we are not for profit type business hence gamers4christ.org. I make a good living off my company www.landmarkcredit.com
I have been covering the cost from my pocket except for the few guys that attend the bible studies in our leadership that send a little money here and there. We are working on other stuff to generate support/funds.
I have to go to work now so I can answer the G4C sponsorship a little later.
Bless u,

Sweet, bro. I will put in an app. All sarcasm aside I am interested.

Mah Nigga Brad Young, let me level with you for a minute:
You are approaching a group of people who spend time playing games for individual achievement and camaraderie in their love for the games. What you bring at us is an opportunity to turn this from people playing games to people representing a particular group playing games. While initially this may have seemed like a perfect opportunity, it is on the level of the brazzers sponsorship without half the benefits.
We have a pretty interesting cross section of cultures in our hobby. Many hobbies also have these cross sections because most of the games themselves can be enjoyed in an impersonal manner. Regardless of where you came from, you could have enjoyed Monopoly, Settlers of Cataan, Magic: The Gathering, and Street Fighter 2 whether you were a Muslim or an Atheist. And while we do have sponsors in our community, those represent business interest which keep interaction, at the most, to a credit card transaction . Your group would like to do what Christian denominations are known for: talking about their homie Christ to people.
There is technically very little logical difference between setting up a booth with t-shrits and one for a church: you’re both offering something at a cost. In your case it is a “path to spiritual fulfillment” which paid with a heavy time investment. But the thing is that at the moment, we exist as a collective of somewhat anonymous people; we know a lot about each other but some conversations is just best to keep out. This would make it so that religious conversations are at bigger forefront than they need to be.
The truth is that if you want to sponsor players so that, as I am sure your ultimate goal is, set up booths at EVo, we should be equally allowed to say “go blow on a cross until you choke”. But unfortunately that pendulum does not swing both ways; those who disagree with you being at Evo in any way, shape or form won’t get the same 1st amendment respect that you will.
We are a stronger community for being able to relate to each other through games without the other cultural hassles of status and different belief systems. We can go to a tournament and just deal with talking about match ups, theory fighting and talking about combo videos. We can go eat and enjoy each other at the human level that religious conversations often fail to do.
We care for each other already at the best possible level for amateurs: passionate people enjoying the same hobby. All you can hope to bring to this community is the cracks and rifts that theological discussion often brings wherever it goes.
IF you could, please shove this idea so far up your ass you puke it. If you eat this puke to get the idea back into your body, please overdose on laxative so that it returns to the shitty thing it is for all of those involved.
Please remember, this place is about the games and competition; adding things on top of that just dilute it.
I have a couple of Questions:
- What are the terms of your sponsorship? (as in what are you offering)
- What are the rules being on your team?
- Do you sponsor teams?
This is pretty cool what your doing by the way.
Comment up for review.
Arthur C. Clarke observed that “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.”
Exodus 22:18 states “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.”
If the Kubota escape is used against you in a game of Marvel, will you understand that as an order from God to slay your opponent?
Jesus…
…this thread.
Vanessa’s ass.
Can I get another amen?
Good ol megalomaniac Christians
Now tying to sneak into gaming tournaments…
Pertho wall of texts are the best wall of texts.

This thread WAS awesome. I would stay clear of it if I was everyone.
