What the Mission Trip Will Be Like
At our Eagles Youth Centre in Brikama, our mission focuses on football ministry, after-school study programs, and operating a hostel to provide a safe and supportive environment for young people. Our heart is to build meaningful relationships, share love through practical service, and empower the next generation with hope and purpose. A number of the boys have been interested in knowing about the Lord and have given their lives to Him!
Our vision and purpose is to:
-
Provide an opportunity for young boys and men to prepare for their future.
-
Encourage young boys and men to pursue physical health as well as spiritual health
It would be your role to lead football trainings from Monday to Friday afternoons. In addition to this, you would help organize tournaments and provide coaching during the tournaments. On Saturdays, we hold study classes and other programs, encouraging the children who participate to also join Sunday worship services and Sunday school. It would be wonderful if you are a footballer or have experience in coaching a football team. However, it's also enough if you just love football and youth!
Timing and length of your trip is very flexible. You could plan to serve there for several months up to 1 year. In July and August, typically the ministry is paused because of the rainy season, but any other months are possible. Contact us to talk about the possibilities for you! Fill out the form on this page for more information and how to get involved.
