ABWE - Association of Baptists for World Evangelism

A platform outreach of relationship building is very active in the Balkans. One particular people group is in great need of more people to come and show an interest in the young people of that country. Sports is an open door to them because they enjoy all kinds of sports and would enjoy learning western sports. The young ladies there have never had any opportunity to learn sports such as tennis, volleyball, or softball. We have no one that can reach out to them at this time, so there are thousands who have no opportunity to see the love of Christ lived out in someone’s life. There are some severe restrictions on what can be done and said, but we have found sports to be a great way to break down the barriers and build up relationships. (Men may only work with the boys, and women may only work with the girls.) This could be either an individual or a team ministry.
