Kids
Come for the Game…and Leave With the Truth.
This year's Operation
Kid-to-Kid program lets your kids send soccer balls to children who
are so deep in poverty they can't afford a soccer ball of their
own. These soccer balls are called "GO Balls" (Gospel Outreach
ball) because they have special colors that are related to sharing
the Gospel. The unusual colors prompt children in Africa to ask
what the decorations mean--a great introduction to sharing the
Gospel!
Your kids will touch,
pray over, and personalize GO Balls that will then be delivered to
needy children. It's hands-on missions…and it changes
kids: those who receive the balls, and the kids who send them.
Plus, children who receive the balls will also receive a guide
called "Coaching for Sport…Coaching for Life" translated into their
native language.
Why Soccer
Balls?
International Bible
Society knows how important it is to reach children, and Operation
Kid-to-Kid is designed to reach children on both ends of the GO
Ball with the Gospel-the children who receive the ball, and your
children.
In Africa, sports and
games outreach programs draw children by the thousands-children who
come to play and then stay to hear about Jesus.
Sports and games
outreach programs are active in over 100 countries and on every
continent, reaching hundreds of thousands of kids. And at your
Power Lab, you'll help!
Check
back next month for details on how the GO Ball will be used in
Power Lab and for other missions projects!
