Sports Outreach & Evangelism

SPORTS MINISTRY OUTREACH

Taking the Gospel to the young and lost has never been the same since we started the Sports Evangelism and Tackling AIDS Through Sport Programs. Sport is hugely popular amongst young people world wide, more so than any other voluntary activity. Sport is therefore credible and attractive way of engaging the attention of young people and providing a platform to both share the Gospel with them and also through which to promote prevention of HIV, de-stigmatization and to encourage the development of important life skills. THE POWER OF SPORT IN AFRICA: A survey carried out in Uganda by British Council to gauge the interests of young people aged 11 to 20, sport was the clear top response, where 88% of young people in Uganda were interested in sport and exercise, and the survey went further to reveal that 89% of boys and 68% of girls reported that they regularly watch it on TV. This makes sport as the most effective tool to reach Young people with Gospel.

PROJECT CHALLENGES: Like any other project, our Sports Outreach/Evangelism Ministry (SOEM) program is constrained by limited funds, that normally come from well-wishers, friends and Charity Fundarisers. Our major stumbling block is lack of funds to coordinate the project, and to buy sports equipments. The project is entirely run and managed by community volunteers in partnership with local Churches, Fellowships, University, College & Secondary Volunteers.

HOW YOU CAN HELP: Our on-going project requirements include coordination funds e.g. transport, communication, allowance for trainers, & officials. As an on-going need, we require Sports Equipments, e.g. Soccer, Netball, Volleyball, Basketball, Table Tennis, Lawn tennis sports etc. To support this project, you can chose to donate financially online at https://www.givengain.com/cause/4520/campaigns/12655/donate/#start your US$ 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 or more, will help us share the Gospel with thousands of young people bringing them into the Kingdom of God according to the “Great Commission” Matthew 28:16-20 16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said,“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
