| Project Description: | This SportsPlus team will organize basketball, soccer, and volleyball clinics and games at a local sports facility for children and young adults. This team will help local missionaries form groups or individual studies for people who are interested in learning more about the Bible. The objective is to establish friendly relationships with those who participate in the sports activities and share your faith freely with them in conversation. The missionaries also have encouraged our team to build relationships and continue to disciple and share with students over the internet after our team returns to the States. 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 :: |
