Surge International also has trips planned to Ukraine in August and Mongolia in September.
A small team of men and possibly one woman will be working with a church about 3 hours from Kiev in a duel effort of a contruction project and soccer outreach. This church is already engaging young people by using soccer as an attraction, but they have asked for assistance in bringing more technical and tactical coaching to help develop this ministry. Again, we would love to take some needed equipment and assist with their plans for better soccer facilities. If you would be interested in supporting this effort please contact Al Lotz at alotz@surgesoccer.org.
Mongolia represents a very exciting ministry as we partner with church planters who see soccer as a key element in attracting young people away from alcoholism and into successful life principles and behavior. They have the goal of planting a church in each of twelve towns within the province by 2020. We have the opportunity to make a tremendous contribution to this effort that has the potential of far reaching impact even beyond the country of Mongolia. It is exciting to see interest generated for this project and I encourage you to not miss out on this opportunity.
