This team will work in a local youth/sports center in Belfast and will be focused on making relationships with students from another culture and understanding international ministry. Partner with CIY Engage and Salt Factory Sports in Belfast and surrounding communities on an unforgettable mission experience built around games, relationships, and the Gospel. Your students will help facilitate a VBS-style sports camp where kids come to play games, learn Bible stories, and experience the love of Christ through intentional relationships. No one has to be a star athlete—what matters most is a willingness to lead activities, cheer kids on, and create a space where laughter and connection open the door for ministry. Whether it’s organizing competitions, joining in team games, or sharing in times of worship, your group will get to point kids to Jesus in simple but powerful ways. Beyond the activities, this trip gives students the chance to practice relational ministry. Building friendships with kids becomes the bridge for sharing the hope of Christ. Salt Factory Sports is intentional about discipleship through Team Times, where students will help kids hear the truth of God’s Word in creative and engaging ways. If you have students who love worship or storytelling, their gifts will be an incredible asset to the ministry as well. Come alongside what God is already doing in Northern Ireland and let your group discover how Kingdom Work can happen through games, conversations, and everyday moments.
