Kosovo Sports Mission

We believe it is our duty as Christians to use whatever means necessary to share the good news of Jesus Christ, that He saves, heals and delivers and has made a way to the Father.

As a church we’re committed to supporting other Christians that live in countries where it is difficult to be a Christian. One of those places is Kosovo.

Why Kosovo?

There is a less than 1% of Evangelical Christians. In 1998 there were ethnic conflicts between Albanians and Serbians requiring the intervention of NATO. This has caused a lot of civil unrest and conflict along ethnic lines in the country. In 2008 Kosovo declared independence from Serbia but this has not been recognized by some countries and the EU. It is currently being run by the UN, because of this much of the infrastructure of the country is broken, human rights and access to education, health care and work is lacking. This country has a lot of needs and it is the young people that are suffering the most.

What we will do there?

We have come together as a group to use our skills as sports men and women to share the love of Christ with others. We believe our gifts and talents come from our Father God and we want to use these gifts to glorify him.

Having then gifts different according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them. Romans 12:6 (NKJV)

We will run 2 sports camps over 3 days at 2 different locations. We hope to come in contact with about 50 kids each day.

We will teach the kids some basic sports skills and organize games for them to compete. On our list of expertise are football, basketball, hockey, handball, netball, rugby and American football.

We will also use this opportunity to share our testimony of the grace of God in our lives  and how Jesus has saved us.
