Throughout 2018, Adventure Soccer has been partnering with communities to provide free soccer outreaches to at-risk youth in hurting areas. The three main areas that the Local Mission focuses on are children influenced by gang-activityas and drug-use, as well as kids entering the state foster system. The Lord has laid it on my heart to provide this demographic of children with an outlet to escape the hurting situations they are in. We use our local outreaches as a tool to share the gospel and connect these children to programs that will help them succeed and grow past the circumstances that can hold them down. Currently our partnerships range from local churches, YMCA’s, police departments, other non-profits and countless local businesses. The goal is to start to change the tide of where our youth are headed and connect them to people and organizations that care about their futures.
Our 2018 outreach schedule is not finished; however it has been full of so many incredible highlights thus far. Not only has each outreach been well attended at the event, but we have seen attendance skyrocket at after-school programs once we have left. What an incredible victory for the Kingdom. At the Sultan Outreach, 5 new kids and 2 families started to attend the church consistently after one of outreaches. In Marysville, we had many of the kids attend kids church the week after camp. In Yakima, we had countless kids accept Jesus into their hearts on the 2nd day of camp and choose to live their lives in a way that honored him. On Casino Road, we partnered with Hand in Hand to provide a free soccer camp and meal to over 200+ people. God is working in these locations and many others that we have entered!
I feel so humbled that the Lord has blessed us with the opportunity to speak into the lives of so many children. We are consistently chasing after His plans for the mission of Adventure Soccer and know that God has something special in store as we continue to reach more people with the message of Hope.
