Sports and Recreation

Get Started

In many places, what stands between youth and the gospel is a shield of post-modern skepticism. In others, it is a wall of cultural and national opposition to Christianity. But there are few barriers a soccer ball cannot breach.

TEAM missionaries use camping and sports outreach on nearly every continent to share the love of Christ with youth and families. Summer camps in Taiwan, basketball camps in Italy, soccer games in Mexico — each opens hearts and minds to discipleship in ways traditional church ministry sometimes cannot. TEAM sports and recreation ministries often complement and work in conjunction with other ministry initiatives, such as church planting, creation care, education and community development. Click below to explore our current opportunities for service in Sports and Recreation. If you don’t see what you’re looking for, please share your ideas with us. We want the message of Jesus Christ to go forth in new ways and would love to help you start your missionary journey.
