Introducing Josef Macdonald, one of our karate-ka.
Josef is an accredited sports chaplain supporting our Japan Karate Shoto-Federation (JKS) Karate Club in Herald Island, where he participates with his children Timo, Kasia and Arto.
Sports Chaplains are volunteers in sports communities providing free, accessible pastoral care, support and mentoring to club members, club officials and their families at the dojo and at the point of need, irrespective of religion, lifestyle and beliefs.
The effect of having Sports Chaplains in sports communities is improved mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing leading to better people, better lives, better outcomes and better communities.
