A single soccer ball was what started the creation of Sports Outreach over 30 years ago. When our founder, Russ Car, was visiting Uganda he threw a soccer ball in the middle of a field and began to play with the team he had brought. As the game progressed, more and more children from the community began to join in the game. It was then that he realized that sports could be used as a tool to gather people together and share the truth of the Gospel with them. That became the foundational mission of Sports Outreach and it continues to be carried out today.
