Sports Outreach

The Point Loma Women’s soccer team returned home from being on the mission field in Kenya and Uganda earlier this week! Their time was filled with God’s unwavering presence and favor as they danced in schools, encouraged families, and played a match in Kenya, they engaged in hands on gardening and brick making in Kampala, and shared conversations and heard stories of impact from the Gulu team!

Their trip was both life changing and character building as they shared in new experiences, different cultures, occasional challenges, and encountered God in powerful and real ways!

We experienced a real life “field of dreams” moment as the movementmtg outreach team transformed a baseball field in a community outside Jarabacoa in a school day! Kids left for school in the morning with an overgrown, rock filled, and unmarked field space. As they made the journey home, they couldn’t help but stop and watch the field change from hazardous to playable!

Not only was the field space transformed, but it now opens the doors for young hearts and minds to be transformed by the hope of the Gospel shared by Sports Outreach coaches.

We are grateful for the Movement team pouring into this community and making an eternal impact! 🙏⚾️

At this exact moment, we have 5️⃣7️⃣ trip takers on the mission field or making their way there - Uganda 🇺🇬, Dominican Republic🇩🇴 , and Kenya 🇰🇪! We celebrate the gift that it is for them to experience first-hand our mission of restoring hope and transforming lives and the powerful impact on our staff and communities!

In 2023, the Mountains for Medicine Initiative began to raise funds and awareness thru cycling events to complete construction and begin operating the Nia Davenport Medical Centre with locations in southern and northern Uganda. The clinics operate 24/7 and make medical care accessible to marginalized individuals. To date, the clinics have served well over 3,000 men, women, and children!!!

What's in a Name? Sports Outreach has always been about more than sports. Off-field initiatives are restoring hope and transforming lives every day-learn more in this month's newsletter. https://mailchi.mp/sportsoutreach/whats-in-a-name-april-2026-newsletter
