Last World Cup, God opened amazing doors for our sports missionaries. Our friend Andy got to be the first chaplain included in the official US Soccer delegation; he lived alongside the team, ran Bible studies, and offered critical support during high-stress games.
Andy said:
In Qatar, a Cameroonian player brought two of his previous teammates to our Bible study. When I asked whether they’d been part of a Bible study before, one of them said “Oh, I’m usually Mslm so I have never gone, but I liked this time very much!”
For the first time since 1994, this world famous event will take place right here in the US!
From June 11 to July 19, 2026, the FIFA World Cup will unite people from every nation and culture — 48 teams, 5 billion viewers, and conversations happening in homes, cafés, and stadiums worldwide. This global moment presents an incredible opportunity for the church to reach people with the hope of Christ.
Our friend Heather has been leading a global partnership around this that is years in the making. We’ve equipped people with over 85,000 kits to help pastors and individuals reach their neighbors during the World Cup.
You and your church can still join with thousands of other Christ-followers to leverage the gathering power of this event to make connections among those with whom you want to go deeper. Please pray for this enormously united effort, and grab a free digital kit today!
