Making disciples through sports.

We are convinced that no one should live and die without hearing God’s good news. That’s why we’re using sports as a platform to share this message of hope with young people, their families, and their communities!

We’re part of something bigger.

Sports Friends is a ministry of the 130-year-old international mission organization, SIM, which serves in more than 70 countries around the globe.

There’s always something you can do to help.
