General Description

Applications for summer 2018 are currently closed. Check back in August for information about serving with us in summer 2019.

You will be involved in facilitating evangelistic camps across central and eastern Europe. The camps are a great way to bring the gospel to youth in a relevant and fun environment. They are also significant in building our local church based, year-round sports ministries.

In the first month you will be involved in ministry training to prepare you to serve in an intercultural environment, as well as physical training exposing you to the fundamental movements used in CrossFit to develop your skill and prepare you for coaching. We are looking for 4-6 people passionate about Christ and sports. If you are athletic and have never done CrossFit ..we still want you! Do you want to join our movement?

At the camps you will lead sports classes and workshops, build relationships with non-Christian students, assist in leading evening programs consisting of music, games, and testimonies, and encourage youth leaders in the local churches where you are partnered with. You will experience a balance of evangelism, discipleship, and leadership training of national students and youth leaders. This is a high-energy ministry that requires a massive love for students. Use your talents to bring the gospel to the central and eastern Europe.
