June 16 - July 3, 2010
The Charlotte Eagles are excited to be taking a U19 boys’ and U19 girls’ international tour back to Brazil. The Eagles’ goal is to train and equip Christian athletes to intentionally use the game of soccer as a platform for sharing their personal faith in Jesus Christ. We believe that an Eagles’ tour can have a lasting impact on how you view both the game of soccer and your individual walk with God.
Our time will promise to be a life-changing experience. Before we depart for
we will hold a three day training camp in Charlotte, NC. This time will involve intense soccer and sports ministry training. During training camp we will train together on the field, build relationships as teammates and receive training on how to apply our faith to the field.
While on the tour we will be partnering with local missionaries, churches and schools outside of Sao Paulo and Goiania. We will be doing our sports ministry in partnership with the Brazilian Christian organization, Project Grow, as well as local churches in the towns of Limera and Vianopolis. Our days will be filled with clinics, friendly matches, traveling, and ministering with local churches. We will also find time to enjoy the friendly culture and natural beauty of Brazil as well.
How We Will Minister:
1. Relational Evangelism
2. Soccer Clinics/Camps
3. Post Game Events:
-
Presentations
-
Testimonies
-
Team Fellowship
The tour will stretch each individual player on and off the field. The challenge for a true sports minister is to compete at his/her highest level while maintaining a strong testimony for the Lord.
