A ministry opportunity for future, current, or former college student athletes who want to share the love of Christ in Southern Africa.

SWAZILAND:

Swaziland is like no other place on earth. Visitors are stunned by the lush, mountainous beauty of a country that has been stricken by disease, leaving families broken.

While tragic truth hides behind the stark beauty of the African hills, you can help share hope in this land.

No country on earth has been more devastated by HIV/AIDS. With the highest rate of infection in the world, the disease has affected almost every family in Swaziland. 10% of Swazi children have been orphaned because of infected parents. Words like “rape” and “abuse” can be found in school children’s workbooks. Mothers are widowed, left with no means to support their hungry families. These statistics continue to increase at an alarming rate. Women and children are often left malnourished, uneducated and without hope. During your time in Africa, you will share hope to those left behind by the pandemic.

MINISTRY:  

Adventures has been based in Swaziland for more than 10 years. The base in Swaziland is centered around Orphan Care, primarily through places called Care Points. These ministry hubs focus on local infrastructure, discipleship, church growth and sustainability projects. The base in Swaziland has established a ministry for outreach through sports and is welcoming a team of college age athletes to come participate. 

• Teach the fundamentals of your sport to children and youth. 

• Sharing your story as an athlete and testimony to inspire others.

• Host a World Cup watch party and reach soccer fans with the Gospel

• Participate in other community outreach events 

• Serve our children’s ministry or other projects happening at our base.

  Soccer is the most popular sport in Swaziland, but the youth are excited to learn about other sports as well. Volleyball & basketball are growing in popularity, so your skills are also needed and welcomed.
