Soccer World Cup Training Conference

Our staff in South Africa has been waiting and preparing for this moment for almost 4 years! And now it's here - already the second day of our training conference.

Yesterday was a very busy day with all the teams arriving from various countries, registering at the conference venue and registering with TUG - "The Ultimate Goal". The Ultimate Goal is the umbrela organisasion under which all the different outreaches/ministries during the world cup will function.

We are very privilege to have teams from Liberia, the United States of America, Canada, Zambia, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, France and South Africa. When the conference end on Thursday morning (10 June), the teams will leave for different venues where they will minister with local churches in their communities: the USA team will minister in Cape Town, the French in Bloemfontein and the rest will minister in Johannesburg and Pretoria. The following churches will partner with us in Jhb: Bryanston Methodist Church, Northcliff Union and Veranderde Lewens.

During the training conference the participants will be trained in how to share their faith; how to share the Gospel and how they can effectively be a witness of Jesus Christ in their sport and competition.
