Provide sports ministry training, coaching instruction, and sports ministry model development to support effective sports ministry programs for girls and young women. Focus on vision casting, training, coaching instruction, model development, and problem solving with sports ministers. Work closely with church denominations and church-planting movements to see sustainable, locally-led sports ministry programs developed for girls.

Recommended experience: Previous experience in sports leadership or coaching is required. Previous experience in league development and sports camp ministries may also be helpful. Expertise primarily sought in volleyball, though basketball, football (soccer), and other sports are also useful. Previous experience in teaching, training, leadership, and ministry development among girls or women would also be beneficial.

Support raising: Sports Friends workers raise their own support, but you don’t have to do it alone. Your local SIM office will help with training, resources, and guidance along the way. We have seen God provide for our workers over and over again!
