Summer of Sports (SOS) is an outreach training program that uses a variety of team sports as a tool to share the gospel. Students in Summer of Sports will not only be equipped spiritually, but will gain skills training in athletics as well. The program will serve to give the students the ability to continue in an intensive athletic lifestyle.
The first few weeks of the program will be spent in Lakeside, Montana where you will train, attend lectures, and hone your skills in the outdoors. Topics during the lecture phase include ‘Basics of the Faith’, ‘Bible Study’, ‘Character and Nature of God’ and more.
During the afternoon portion of the lecture phase, students will spend time in weight training, skills training, and physical conditioning, 4 hours a day, 5 days a week.
The next weeks are spent on an overseas outreach which will enable the students to utilize their gifts and skills in sharing the Gospel cross-culturally. Each outreach concludes with a debriefing time designed to help students process through their entire experience.
The Summer of Sports seeks to use athletics as a door into the lives of people who may have never heard the good news of Jesus. You will be equipped to evangelize and disciple while using the athletic talent and passion that God has given you for sports. Sports can provide an open door to the hearts of people who might otherwise be closed off to hearing the Good news of Christ.
Hey there! We both started our journey into long-term missions through short summer opportunities, so this program is very close to our hearts. Andrew joined YWAM in 2016 and since then has taken four schools and worked in four countries. Christina has been part of YWAM since 2020, and before that worked with the missions department at her university. We feel like God has a summer of transformation and celebration in store for this program, and we hope you will join us!
At YWAM Montana-Lakeside, we are all about doing whatever it takes to know God and to make Him known, together! We’d love to help you make that next step in your global missions education. Apply now!
