Sports Friends & SIM, our ministry organizations
As we continue to serve in Ethiopia, we are working alongside two great mission organizations. Our specific ministry at Camp Langano is through Sports Friends. SIM is the parent mission organization to Sports Friends. Below is some more general information about each organization.
Sports Friends
"Sports Friends' passion is to develop sports ministry leaders around the world who have a kingdom perspective - able to use sports as a bridge for reaching the youth in their communities with the love and word of God. we train coaches to be positive life influencers, mentors to your who are often living without purpose or hope. Our efforts are centered in the local church, with the aim of building capacity for sustainable, long-term ministry. We aim to see a movement of churches using sports ministry to transform the lives of youth, their families and their communities." - Sports Friends website
Sports Friends was started in Ethiopia by three families, one Ethiopian and two American, who all shared a vision to use sports to break down barriers and spread the Gospel. After nearly a decade of ministry, Sports Friends has spread to several other countries in Africa and is just starting up in Asia. In Ethiopia, the Sports Friends director, staff, and coaches are primarily Ethiopians. This is exciting to see as the Ethiopians have been trained and have now taken ownership of this ministry.
This is a great organization with a true desire to see the word of God spread to all the nations. Please feel free to find out more about Sports Friends from their website: www.sports-friends.org or just ask us. We would be glad to talk with you about the work that is being done through Sports Friends.
