Students in this country love the interaction that occurs when they are able to build relationships with American students and young adults. Because this project is considered a high security one, applicants for this team should be mature and have the ability to follow specific instructions and guidelines regarding ministry techniques and opportunities. Both men and women athletes and coaches are needed for this project! The SportsPlus training camp will take place from July 1-3, 2008.
