Social Sciences - Religion / An invitation to a Pastors´ Conference
English term or phrase: full-contact
Hello,

My text is:
"The Bible inspires us with, "We will reap if we faint not." God-called ministry is not for the faint-hearted and feeble-minded but for the faithful sower and the fearless warrior. Fulltime ministry is ***full-contact*** combat. Remember today that sin will never win and faith in God will never fail".

Thanks and blessings,
Elena

agree  Javi Martín: Suena bien... si no fuera por el contexto, se suele dejar en inglés como arte marcial, pero no pegaría mucho aquí :)

  -> Gracias por tu apoyo, Spaniard.
agree  JaneTranslates: Yes. "Full contact" is often used in sports writing to disparage "fútbol-soccer" as a wimpy sport compared to a full-contact sport like American football. (Sorry, don't shoot the messenger!)
