Reach Holland

Play sports, make friends, share Jesus. Join Athletes in Action Holland as we put that into practice in the summer of 2008!

The world speaks one language.. the language of sports! There is nothing like athletics that brings together a community, a country, the world. Do you love Jesus, sports and people? Then join the Coming Home 2008 project. You've got something to share: tell the Dutch youth about the Home where it all starts: life with Jesus, as a child of the Father!

AIA Holland, as an established ministry, wants to reach Dutch youth with the life changing message of Jesus Christ, through sports. In 2008 together with churches in several cities, we will bring the gospel to youth in the neighbourhoods. In the last 2 years more than 1000 (recreational) athletes from 14 different countries served 80 churches in 30 cities. P eople have come to know God's love and accepted Jesus as their savior!

As a participant in an AIA project you will be apart of a multicultural team. The project begins with a four days conference which will provide training and teambuilding so that you will be fully prepared when the project week starts. During the project you will stay with host families from the church. Each morning you will spend time with your team preparing for the clinics and doing Bible studies. In the afternoons and evenings you will give sports clinics and establish contact with the youth to tell them about Jesus Christ!

“I am happy because I have spent great time in the Netherlands with many good believers. It was my first experience with Athletes in Action. Evangelization by sport is very good idea. I met new friends and now I know how people live in Europe . We talked about our private problems and struggles in life. I learned new things about Bible and Jesus. I have never heard it before, I like to teach small children and youths about God who is Love. We sowed some seeds to their souls and we must praying and waiting for them. I like Athletes in Action because it changed my life.” Ivo Tolic, Slovakia
