  • Application Deadline: March 30, 2025

Join us on a unique mission to a vibrant, predominately Muslim Middle Eastern city, where we’ll be hosting hockey and ice-skating day camps for kids. In a place where these sports are rarely experienced, you’ll have the chance to connect with youth in an exciting new way, sharing skills and building friendships across cultures. Team members will also be introduced to Business for Transformation (B4T) initiatives, gaining insight into how faith-based enterprises can be used to make an impact in creative access nations. 

Our team will partner with a local sports club to engage kids through sports, fostering an atmosphere of encouragement, teamwork, and fun. Along the way, participants will experience the historic beauty of our host city, learn more about the local culture, and build relationships that could become bridges to deeper conversations about faith.
