As we reflect over the past year and all the Lord has accomplished through AGAITAS and RISE Athletic Development, we cannot help but be reminded of HIS faithfulness and how HIS body came together to serve, give, and share the love of Jesus to over 1,000 people in our community.

When AGAITAS was started in 2012, we had no idea that this ministry would grow the way that it has. When we first began, we thought the only camp we would ever host would be a one year soccer camp. Fast forward 7 years, and AGAITAS and RISE Athletic Development were able to host several camps ranging from soccer, baseball, basketball, flag football and overall athletic movement.

In addition to our regular camps, AGAITAS began hosting two different types of Pop-up Camps. Through our first camp, we were able to take the love of Jesus to the children of two local mobile home parks. While our intention was to teach about Jesus and soccer, the Lord provided a way for the children and many others to be fed dinner each night of camp. Our second camp was held at Jefferson Elementary School. We met with boys who had been cut from basketball and worked with them on skills.

While the Lord continues to grow AGAITAS and RISE, we cannot help but reflect on why these camps are able to be successful. Volunteers and donors like you have helped to grow our ministries in a way that we never saw coming. We are so humbled to have the opportunity to join forces with all of you to share the love of Jesus in our community.

Thank you to those who sent their children to our sports camps. Your children are why we started this ministry!

Thank you to those who donated to help this ministry succeed. It is because of your generosity that kids around our community are able to be impacted and feel Christ’s love through sports!

Thank you to those who volunteered their time to serve at our camps. Whether that was making meals, unloading trailers of sports equipment, or working with children, we cannot express our gratitude for being the hands and feet of Christ.

As we plan and prepare for the upcoming year, we are excited to continue this ministry and grow as the Lord directs!

In Him-

AGAITAS
