Ukraine, SportQuest partners with the Christian Football Club Penuel Kryvyi Rih through mentoring and ongoing support. This club recently completed another year competing in the Professional Soccer League of Ukraine. The team finished 9th out of 11 teams, but they showed strong quality in many of their games.

Their place in a professional league gives more than 300 players across 16 age groups in the Penuel system motivation to stay connected to the club. That continued connection gives founder Andrii Tripolskiy and the Penuel team space to impact lives through long term relationships and ministry.

Church remains an organic part of the club. Monday gatherings, when games do not conflict, primarily include people who came to faith through the ministries of Penuel.

One story from Coach Andrii especially encouraged us.

Two years ago, a young man named Artem came to Penuel from Pavlohrad for tryouts. He was a talented soccer player and knew about God, but he had never attended church. Soon after, his girlfriend joined him, and they began attending church while building their life together.

Through many prayers, conversations, and God’s grace, they got married this March. Recently, Artem was baptized. His baptism took place immediately after practice, and nearly all of the soccer players attended.

For Penuel, this moment reminds us that transformed lives and restored family values matter far more than soccer results. Artem is also a natural leader, and we look forward to seeing how God continues to work through him.

Our team recently returned from Guatemala with grateful hearts after serving alongside the communities of Barrio La Cruz and Parramos. Throughout the week, they worked alongside local families and witnessed the faithful, ongoing ministry led by SportQuest Partners Mynor and Rachel.

The greatest impact came through the relationships that grew between families. As the team served together, shared meals, and spent time in each community, they built friendships that will continue long after the trip ended.

Thank you to everyone who prepared, gave, and served to make this Vision Trip possible. We look forward to the next opportunity to serve alongside our Guatemalan partners.

Day one of sports camp on the Belgium Vision Trip is complete.

Around 40 young people joined the team in Bilzen for sports, games, character lessons, prizes, and time with caring leaders.

The 21 member team from Betenbough Homes is serving alongside SportQuest Partners Kevin and Jenni Verstraeten and the local church throughout the week. Each afternoon, they lead sports camp. Throughout the rest of the day, they help with local work projects, spend time with church families, and learn from the long term ministry taking place in Belgium.

Please pray for meaningful relationships with the young people at camp, for wisdom as the leaders serve, for strength and unity within the team, and for opportunities to clearly share the Gospel through every conversation and activity.

Follow along as the team continues serving throughout the week, and learn more about SportQuest Vision Trips at https://www.sportquest.org.

A powerful earthquake has devastated parts of Venezuela, bringing widespread destruction, loss of life, and displacement across four cities.

Our SportQuest Partner, Oscar Peña, and his ministry teams began work immediately in each city delivering food, clean water, and medicine, and also providing transportation for the wounded and helping churches serve hot meals for uprooted families.

Oscar shared that even in the middle of fear and loss, the team gathered children, sparked joy through games, cared for families with practical needs, and reminded them that the Lord is our refuge and strength.

In the days ahead, they will also lead trauma relief activities for children and identify families who need ongoing care.

Pray for the families the earthquake struck.

Pray for wisdom, strength, and protection for the SportQuest Venezuela Team and other ministries serving in these cities.

Pray that Christ's love reaches every family through their words, their actions, and their faithful presence.

Forty teenagers and 17 leaders gathered in Belgium for the fifth annual Spring Sport Camp during Easter break. More than 70% of participants and leaders return each year, creating a community that continues to grow deeper and stronger over time.

Through intentional relationships, focused learning, and athletic competition, this camp helps equip the next generation of sport ministry leaders in Belgium. The impact reaches far beyond a single week as young leaders grow in character, faith, and their ability to influence others.

When SportQuest Partner Mynor Mendez began investing in leaders outside Guatemala, he hoped they would carry the mission into their own communities.

As a result, William leads a new volleyball academy in Nicaragua, and Franklin leads a new soccer academy in Ecuador. Both ministries now serve young people through coaching, discipleship, and relationships rooted in the Gospel.

What started with one leader now reaches new communities in multiple countries. That is the power of multiplication.

In Ukraine, SportQuest Partners continue to serve children and families through soccer in the middle of war, power outages, and daily uncertainty. At Penuel Soccer Club, young athletes gather for football training, Bible studies, children’s gatherings, and local church connection. At Peremoga Soccer Club, leaders mentor players, strengthen families, and adapt training even when communities lose electricity for 12 to 15 hours a day.

This story reaches beyond soccer. Faithful local leaders keep showing up, young people gain stability and purpose, and families encounter hope in places where life remains hard.

Lorena came to soccer practice to watch her son James. She had no idea God had something planned for her too.

Over time, the Catalán Family built a real friendship with Lorena. She began helping with the ministry, driving boys to tournaments, staying connected. And during that process, Lorena made a life-changing decision: she reconciled with the Lord.

Today she is growing spiritually, attending church regularly, and learning to walk with Jesus again. God continues to reach hearts and restore families through the soccer school in Panama.

Every Saturday in Panama, K**e and his team show up for the soccer school, and every Saturday they share the gospel during practice.

The program closed 2025 with strong enrollment across four age groups. Children were recognized for consistency, faithfulness, and academic performance. And thanks to donors and the local church, families in the community were invited to a Christmas party to celebrate together.

Your donation makes Saturdays like these possible. Give at sportquest.org.
