The Breakaway Global Missions Network exists to REACH and empower youth for Christ, DEVELOP next generation youth workers, RESOURCE the underserved, STRENGTHEN communities, and SERVE the local church through strategic cross-cultural partnerships.
Our vision is for entire communities to be transformed by the power of the Gospel — across the streets, across the states, and across the seas. We are committed to raising up indigenous leaders to champion Christ among unreached people groups and to mobilizing the Church to be the hands and feet of Jesus in a broken world desperate for hope.
We believe there is no greater hardship a young person can face than gospel destitution. It’s been said, “A person can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only a few seconds without hope.”
Through our cross-cultural partnerships, we build bridges to the Living Hope—reaching youth across cultures who are longing for connection, meaning, and the transforming life of Christ.
1. Reach and Empower Youth for Christ
We are committed to seeing young people encounter Jesus personally and follow Him wholeheartedly. Our passion is to share the Gospel with clarity, urgency, and love — reaching youth where they are and inviting them into a life-changing relationship with Christ. But we don’t stop at the point of decision. We walk alongside them, equipping them to grow in their faith, develop godly character, and live out their calling. Through intentional discipleship, biblical teaching, and real-life mentoring, we empower youth to stand firm in truth, serve others with compassion, and lead lives that reflect the hope and power of the Gospel.
2. Develop Next Generation Youth Workers
We raise up youth workers through intentional discipleship training, hands-on coaching and mentoring, and practical equipping for youth ministry. Our goal is to develop servant-hearted leaders who are spiritually grounded, ministry-ready, and equipped to guide the next generation in knowing and following Jesus.
3. Resource the Underserved
We resource the underserved by providing essential ministry tools and strategic outreach initiatives that serve the unreached, the poor, the vulnerable, the marginalized, and the gospel-destitute — in both developing nations and developed countries lacking access to vital ministry resources. We equip leaders and mission partners to bring hope, foster transformation, and address both spiritual and practical needs in their communities.
4. Strengthen Communities
Our mission strengthens communities by raising up local leaders, meeting both spiritual and practical needs, and empowering youth to become positive change-makers. We connect churches, families, ministries, agencies, and community groups to foster unity and collaboration. We help create healthier, more resilient communities grounded in the hope of Christ.
5. Serve the Local Church
We serve the local church by equipping leaders, providing effective outreach models, and supplying essential ministry resources that expand its reach and strengthen its mission. Through sports ministries and youth camps, leadership development, and discipleship training, we help churches engage youth, connect with families, and impact their communities with the Gospel. Our partnerships empower congregations to not only share Christ effectively but also disciple new believers, integrate them into the life of the church, and sustain long-term community transformation.

“We partnered with Breakaway Outreach for a three-week English sports camp in Korea. A great collaboration was formed between foreigners and locals, becoming one in Jesus. This had a profound impact upon the young people hearing the gospel and learning about Jesus at the camp.”
—Stephen (pastor, Korea)
GO and SERVE…
We connect those called to cross-cultural ministry with areas of need around the world.
We have international mission trips available for churches, families, schools, athletic teams, coaches, or individuals who desire to serve and demonstrate the Gospel through healthy and growing cross-cultural partnerships. Whether you are called to pray, give, or go, there are opportunities for you to partner with Breakaway global initiatives. If you are interested in serving on a Breakaway mission trip as a group, individual, or partner church, FILL OUT THIS MISSION TRIP INQUIRY FORM and we will get back with you as soon as possible.
“The sports camp in partnership with our American friends has been one of the greatest evangelistic tools our church has employed. We had a 225% increase in church growth over 3 years, using the camp model as our primary strategy for outreach.”
—Hans (pastor, Germany)
“The sports camp has helped our church grow our youth group from three youths to over forty!”
—Kyle (youth worker, UK)
“Breakaway cross-cultural ministries are never ‘isolated’ hit-and-run experiences for young people, but always catalysts for long-term mentoring and youth development initiatives. When it comes to evangelism and discipleship, we don’t see two ‘mutually exclusive’ gospel economies; we think and aim for both sides of the same missional coin. Both Good News ‘beginnings’ and Next Step spiritual growth ‘pathways’ are always built concurrently into the very structure and framework of our cross-cultural partnerships.”
“We partnered with Breakaway Outreach for a sports camp in our community. It was a tremendous blessing. Their ability to connect with young people through sports while sharing the hope of Christ is truly remarkable. Beyond the coaching, the team brought encouragement, biblical truth, and a servant-hearted attitude that uplifted both the kids and our church”
—Luca (youth worker, Italy)
“I’m one of the youth leaders in my region. I received sports ministry training from Breakaway and have been able to bring youth together through sports to create opportunities for discipleship and to share the gospel with unbelievers and Muslim youth. Now we are running three sports camps a year.”
—James (pastor, West Africa)
Cross-Cultural Sports Camps
We believe that God’s heart is for every people, every tribe, and every nation, and that beautifully redemptive movements take shape through cross-cultural missional partnerships.
SPORT IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE. Our turnkey sports camp model — also adaptable as a hybrid with English camps or VBS programs — is a powerful outreach tool for reaching youth and children with fresh expressions of the Gospel in virtually any context, from under-resourced and developing communities to post-Christian societies in the developed world.
This “Sports Camp in a Box” has proven to spark effective evangelism and fuel long-term disciple-making movements. It has served as a catalyst for youth engagement, community development, church planting, and the launch of ministries serving at-risk and underserved children.
Missions Solutions for Churches
Breakaway Outreach can help your church mobilize for effective missions solutions by fostering sustainability in partnership development, avoiding harmful missional practices such as what we call “hit and run” approaches. If you’d like to learn more about our cross-cultural partnership development strategies, contact us for more information.
Baseball Ministry + Sports Mission Trips
Breakaway Outreach mobilizes mission teams to facilitate baseball ministry as well as other sports ministries in Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, Asia, and domestically in the US. These sports ministry mission trips are ideal for teams, church groups, or individual coaches/players. We have added the urban discipline of Baseball5 to our global sports camps, including mission contexts serving refugees and migrant kids.
