Short-Term Mission Tour Opportunities Applications Are Being Accepted
Several pastors from the Philippines asked us to help them develop the "Sports Ventures Ministries" in 1989. Today, the work we helped establish is showing much fruit, with several Filipino pastors being asked by their country's governing sports bodies and schools to take positions of leadership and, thereby, becoming "salt and light" for our Lord Jesus Christ. We have also appointed three pastors as missionaries in the Philippines. They are Pastor Renato Bravo, Hazel Mandaguit, and Pastor Joe Rosmarino. It has been a wonderful privilege to partner with these dedicated men of God within their country, as literally hundreds of people have come to Christ over the years. Philippine Mission Tour Our Filipino partners have asked us to come again this year with a short-term ministry team of Christian athletes, coaches, sports medicine specialists, pastors, businessmen, and schoolteachers. If you are at least 15 years of age and are interested in joining this short-term mission team, you may view a detailed report and ministry schedule from a previous Short-term Mission Tour). Please contact us for a Ministry Tour Application. Investors Needed Even if you are unable to go with us, you may also enter this unique partnership with national pastors. Your financial investment and prayer support can help us lead others to Christ and train athletes, coaches and ministers for sports and recreation evangelism. One of our most urgent needs is to obtain the extra funds required for us to go. The cost is just over $1,900 for each person. Several members of these mission teams are high school and community college athletes with very limited funds of their own. Would you consider investing an extra $35 each month for the next three months (or a single one-time extra gift of $100 this month) to help send our ministry team to the Philippines?
