International Tours and Missions Every year teams and individuals take the Gospel to different parts of the world through the worldwide language of football. A typical tour will see a team of about 15 footballers stay in a host town and play a number of teams from the surrounding area; sometimes there will be an opportunity to run a soccer school for children. It is not just in the presentations and conversations that take place that we aim to share Christ but in our conduct and attitude particularly on the field we trust His light will shine. We are know in the Dachstein Valley in Austria, where our longest running tour visits each year, as the 'joy people'.
In recent years, SportsReach has begun pioneering sports ministry in less-developed countries and have used a mixture of evangelistic missions and bible teaching along with playing football matches and running soccer schools. Recent successful missions have been to Kenya and Malawi.
