| Project Description: | A SportsPlus team is needed to assist an existing baseball/softball league. The country has provided the uniforms and hats for the youth involved (ages include 8-16 years old). However, there has not been adequate training for the players. The local missionary is involved with this team and is using this as an outreach for the community. He needs baseball coaches and players who can run a camp for the team. They would do drills and teach the kids how to get better at each position. There will also likely be opportunities for competitive play against youth and young adults. This summer (2007) our SportsPlus team was able to build amazing relationships with the locals through these camps and scrimmages. Large crowds gathered to watch the events and learn more about why this American team was there. Naturally, it allowed opportunities for the missionary and the SportsPlus team to share with them the real reason they were there ...Christ's love and salvation. Join this team and return to continue the work that was started. The harvest is plentiful and many are seeking the truth of the seeds that were planted this summer. Get in the game with this team and join God at work in Central Asia! Both men and women athletes and coaches are needed for this project! The SportsPlus training camp will take place from July 1-3, 2008. Volunteers will train with other mission teams and will then depart from the Atlanta airport on July 3 to go on their mission. :: APPLY NOW :: |
