Our Equipping Ministries
Our Why
Equipping People. Strengthening Ministries. Advancing the Kingdom.
For Mike Darrow, aka MADDAWG, it has always been about more than business.
It’s about using what God has given him to equip others for the work of ministry—whether that means stepping onto a field halfway around the world or sitting across the table from a nonprofit leader right here at home.
What We’re All About: Equipping
The Why Behind What We Do
“...to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.”
That calling is at the heart of everything we do.
We believe God already has passionate, committed people in communities near and far who are ready to make a difference for the Kingdom. Our role isn’t to step in and take over. It’s to come alongside them—to share what we know, provide practical tools, build meaningful relationships, and equip them to carry the work forward.
It’s a simple philosophy: equip people well, and the impact multiplies.
OUR VISION
Equipped leaders. Healthier ministries. Communities transformed by the Gospel.
OUR MISSION
To equip people and ministries with the practical tools, wisdom, and support they need to thrive and expand their Kingdom impact.
How We Equip
Different Fields. One Calling.
Equipping can look different depending on where God opens the door.
Sometimes, it looks like using sports to share the Gospel and train local leaders to do the same. Other times, it means gathering Christian nonprofit executives around a table and helping them build stronger, healthier organizations.
Two different fields. One calling.
MADDAWG MINISTRIES
Using Sports to Open Doors for the Gospel
A ball can do a lot more than start a game.
It can bring people together. Cross cultural and language barriers. Create relationships. And open the door to conversations that lead to changed lives.
That’s the heart behind MADDAWG Ministries, a boots-on-the-ground sports ministry that uses the universal language of sports to build relationships and share the Gospel. But the goal isn’t simply to show up, host an event, and go home.
We equip local churches, leaders, and communities with a ministry model they can make their own—one that’s replicable, relational, and built to last.
