- The Vision
EPHESIANS 6, a non-profit organization
based in Charlotte, North Carolina, began from the desire, dedication
and determination of Mr.
George Hudson and Eric Worthy, both residents of Charlotte. Good friends, Hudson and Worthy desired to create an
organization that would enhance the minds and bodies of our youth through
athletics, Christian fellowship, and commitment to our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ.
In October of 2004, after having coached a
church league basketball game, the crystallization of the dream for
EPHESIANS 6 came forth in the mind of founder George Hudson. The
realization while coaching two basketball teams in a church basketball
league, and having encountered numerous un-Christian like activities
displayed by some of the players in the league, the parents, coaches,
and game attendees on occasions, prompted Hudson to strive to have a
Christian environment conducive for impressionable youth. Frustrated
with the current atmosphere, Hudson decided to get an edge on the
world's mentality of church basketball and create an entity that will
manifest into the proper and adequate Christian growth all (players and
their families) can benefit from.
He then approached his good friend, fellow
Christian and co-founder, Eric Worthy, with the idea, and the rest is
history. Both Hudson and Worthy collaborated on the new realm of
basketball. A quest of introducing a realm of Christian athletics to a
world that has never witnessed the phenomena named EPHESIANS 6. This
ministry will be paramount in the future of our youth. There is a
clarion call to either place or replace CHRIST in every entity that does
not accept Him, and an acknowledgement that we must fight back to get
the word out of all things that do not honor and acknowledge Him.
Hudson
and Worthy are both members of
New Birth–Charlotte in Charlotte, NC.
