| Project Description: |
Love soccer, basketball, volleyball, hockey or tennis? Russian students do as well! Sports is a great way to develop new relationships on university campuses. College students seem to be receptive to interacting with Americans about most anything, even talking about Christianity. Serve with local missionaries by building relationships with the students through various sports and other activities with the intent of creating small groups to discuss the Bible and other relevant topics. Other ministry opportunities include speaking in classroom settings on the campuses, participating in community outreach events and prayer walking. The SportsPlus training camp will take place from July 21-23, 2009. Volunteers will train with other mission teams and will then depart from the Atlanta airport on July 23 to go on their mission.
