World Sports Ministries
Our purpose for any
mission trip is four fold:
 |
1. To win people for Jesus Christ
2. To serve and partner with our hosts and the local Body
of Christ
|
3. To train local leaders to
continue outreach through sport
4. To train and give experience to our team leaders enabling
them to serve their home church better when they return.
