As one comes home, another goes...


We are so thankful that our team from Life Point Church made it safely home from Uganda to Wilmington, NC on Thursday.  We can't wait to hear from the team about what they did, learned, and saw.  Thank you all for your prayers while they were gone.  


But, in true Sports Outreach fashion, there is always something going on!  So, we sent out another team!!  Lipscomb women's soccer team headed to El Salvador today.  This is a huge team of 24; 21 girls from the team, Assistant Coach Chris Klotz, two ministry leaders from Charlotte, Brett McDonough and Eric Bernier and SOI Lynchburg's very own David Granada!  


The team has an amazing ministry filled with the Gospel, ministry to the children at Pedro Pablo Castillo School and Vito Gurato Orphanage, as well as lots of pick-up soccer games with the community.  The team will be busy to say the least.  


We appreciate all prayers for the team while they are in El Salvador, check back here for daily updates about the team's itinerary and schedule!

Fourth Team in Three Months

Life Point Church Uganda Mission Is On Their Way...

Good Morning! 
Sports Outreach is so excited that our fourth mission team of 2014 is on their way to Uganda today.  We ask for prayer for safety of the team as they travel and for our staff in Uganda as they prepare for the team's arrival.  The team will have a long day and night of traveling, they will not actually arrive in Entebbe until tomorrow.  When they arrive they will stay for the night at Pope Paul IV Hotel and will move to Gulu for orientation with the Sports Outreach staff on Wednesday.  The team will be posting to the blog when they are able about their progress and the work they will be doing while they are there.  We hope you will follow their journey with us here.

Thank you in advance for your prayer and support for all of the following team members:

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
~Matthew 28:19-20
