Site Spotlights: Women's Sports and Media

Women’s Sports

Site Leader:  Esther and Mabelisa

Team Members:  Hailey, Valerie, Stevette, and Truly

“The purpose of the Women’s Sports site is to not only inspire girls to be active physically, but spiritually as well.  We have had the pleasure of not only helping out with local PE classes, but also practicing with a middle-school volleyball team.  We have noticed cultural differences, such as how it is common for young middle-school aged girls to run away from home to get ‘married’ (which is more like moving in together).  In response to this, the ministry’s goal is also to encourage girls to rely on God and seek his acceptance instead of the acceptance of guys. 

We have also had the blessing of sharing our testimonies with many of the different classes and different teams of girls and are praying that God continues to work in the lives of the girls through this site and SI’s ministry!”

Media

Site Leaders:  Micha and Mateo

Team Members:  Lauren and Blake

“In the media site, we help make the mission of Students International come alive through pictures.  We are in a group of 6 with 2 Horizon members, Zach and Jon, and 2 leaders, Micha and Mateo.  We travel around to each site and take videos of what each team member is doing to display God through what they do.

Every day we post a ‘Jesus moment’ to show how God is working through the teams.  Additionally, we post a video of how God is working through one member each week.  Lastly, we make a video (6-8 minutes long) including every site to display what God has done over the span of our trip.”
