West Africa Sports Ministry Development in Ghana

The Breakaway Africa Sports Initiative continues to drive sports ministry development in Ghana and neighboring Ivory Coast. Some of our missional focus includes:

Coach/leadership development and resourcing for sports ministry
Sports camps/clinics for baseball, Baseball5, American flag football
Evangelism/discipleship resources for youth workers, laypersons, and students

It’s been said by African leaders that what touches Ghana touches all of Africa!

You can support this gospel-centered sports ministry and the ongoing multiplication of disciple-making movements across the region by making a secure online donation to help us reach and build next generation leaders.

Whether you are a returning Breakaway missions team member or looking to serve with us for the first time, these baseball camps offer turnkey models for stepping right in and making a difference with your love for Jesus and passion for the game of baseball. The Belfast camp will serve children ages 5-11 and the Bristol camp will serve ages 9-13.

Update: West Africa Baseball Initiative

The 2020 West Africa Baseball Initiative for Ashanti region of Ghana

This project is in commemoratory of the late W.L. White (native of Lindale, GA), who was a longtime partner with Breakaway Outreach (20+ years) and passed on to his heavenly home last October. Our missional focus with this partnership is threefold:

1) To empower vulnerable children with the gospel while building resilience skills through baseball clinics and sports training

2) To train indigenous coaches in West Africa, equipping and resourcing them to be disciplers and mentoring shapers of future generations

3) To strengthen communities by fostering cross-cultural partnerships, creating sustainable youth sports programs, and providing tangible resources for development

🇬🇭 ⚾ West Africa Baseball Initiative

• 207 kids attended our gospel-centered baseball camp
• 11 schools partnered together for this outreach project
• 24 new coaches trained and equipped for sports ministry

We established the foundation for the very first baseball league in Ashanti region of Ghana, commissioning a head baseball coach and a staff of assistants. Coaches will continue to meet monthly for training together and developing multiple youth teams. We believe that God is going to use baseball to empower kids with hope, bring about gospel transformation, raise up next generation leaders, and further His kingdom through this sports ministry for years to come.

This partnership will soon be expanding into Ivory Coast as we continue to train indigenous pastors and coaches for sports outreach to vulnerable children and to use the game of baseball to make disciples of Christ. Thank you for your prayers and financial support which make it all possible.
