| Project Description: |
Men are more effective using sports ministry in this area, so this team will be limited to men only. Sorry ladies. The outreach will revolve around young men in the surrounding villages, many of which have formerly been involved in gangs. The missionaries want to draw them with sports and connect them with local churches and Bible study groups. The SportsPlus training camp will take place from July 22-24, 2008. Volunteers will train with other mission teams and will then depart from the Atlanta airport on July 24 to go on their mission. :: APPLY NOW :: |
