why?
Many people get involved in fantasy and sci-fi because they have a hard time fitting in with the normal social graces of society. In their gaming they find a type of respite that many simply cannot understand. This passion can be used to point them towards real security in Jesus Christ in much the same way as sports ministries can be used with athletes.
How It Began
I was watching a gaming convention online with my wife. I saw literally tens of thousands of people who loved the same games I do, walking around at this convention with their children. There were all these families , and millions more watching online, that virtually no one was reaching for the Gospel. My heart broke for their lostness. Something had to be done!

how?
For many gamers, just having normal discussions with people is like facing a dragon. As people that speak their language, we can slay that dragon and get to the real needs in their lives and introduce them to a God that loves them.
For instance, while shopping one day I saw a guy with a Star Wars t-shirt and I commented on how much I liked the shirt. Immediately you could see that there was a connection. I was one of “his crowd”. I was able to share the Gospel with him because I didn’t automatically turn my nose up when I saw his “nerd” shirt.
