We are conducting ministry in Khartoum where many are doing outreach through sports ministry
Trained 20 leaders and also working with a team of six coaches with a purpose of growing them in the area of sports ministry.
Having the resources that meet all these training needs is still a major issue

Currently there is still a total ban on any type of sports but when things come to normal I plan to start with conducting training through online means.
With social distancing restrictions we are still giving out tracts as a way of evangelism

2019

Fall 2019

Last month we had a successful Sports ministry of reaching the unreached, predominantly Islamic people groups at the Kenya – Ethiopia Border. The event brought together teams from different tribes which have been in conflict for many years. For the first time they came together through sports. The area senior police
inspector graced the occasion by giving out the
trophies to the winners.
- It was amazing to see people who have always been in conflict playing together.
- We plan to host this team in Nairobi in October as a way of following up on them. It would be great to have them attend service in our Church
We have an upcoming training in Burundi and Congo, August 27-September 2.
