Project Description:	Missionaries in the Philippines have requested that SportsPlus send a team to work with them using sports to minister to the people in their communities. Be a part of helping athletes in a local high school compete on a local and national level in the sports of basketball and volleyball. As you help them achieve their goals athletically, you can be a part of their coming to know Christ as Savior. Feel the excitement of seeing lives changed and futures influenced because of your time and service. Local churches will be responsible for follow-up through Bible studies and campus outreach. The SportsPlus training camp will take place from June 30-July 2, 2009. Volunteers will train with other mission teams and will then depart from the Atlanta airport on July 2 to go on their mission.
