Kids Come for the Game…and Leave With the Truth.

This year’s Operation Kid-to-Kid program lets your kids send soccer balls to children who are so deep in poverty they can’t afford a soccer ball of their own. These soccer balls are called “GO Balls” (Gospel Outreach ball) because they have special colors that are related to sharing the Gospel. The unusual colors prompt children in Africa to ask what the decorations mean—a great introduction to sharing the Gospel!

Your kids will touch, pray over, and personalize GO Balls that will then be delivered to needy children. It’s hands-on missions…and it changes kids: those who receive the balls, and the kids who send them. Plus, children who receive the balls will also receive a guide called “Coaching for Sport…Coaching for Life” translated into their native language.

Why Soccer Balls?

International Bible Society knows how important it is to reach children, and Operation Kid-to-Kid is designed to reach children on both ends of the GO Ball with the Gospel—the children who receive the ball, and your children.

In Africa, sports and games outreach programs draw children by the thousands—children who come to play and then stay to hear about Jesus.

Sports and games outreach programs are active in over 100 countries and on every continent, reaching hundreds of thousands of kids. And at your Power Lab, you’ll help!

Check back next month for details on how the GO Ball will be used in Power Lab and for other missions projects!
