De Doorns is setting an example!
Six years ago Solid Rock has started training leaders in the rural areas of De Doorns, as leaders started to mature the need to do something about the youth’s predicament became evident. Leaders with a love and concern for the children recognized that sport can be an effective way to reach children.
The past 5 years Solid Rock has invested in the training of sport ministry leaders in these areas. Starting with Basic Soccer Skills training, creating an Annual Soccer Tournament (5 years running) and training Life Coaches (3 years running).
During this time it became clear to them that the World Cup™ can provide an enormous opportunity to impact an area like this. In the run up to this major sport event they tested and trained certain elements of their planned and anticipated outreach. During the Beijing Olympics big screen viewing were tested alongside the Annual Tournament. They know now that a side of a truck beneath the snow cap Matroosberg can be an excellent viewing area (though cold)! They realised that a great number of small churches want to view such events on a small scale in their respective churches. The trained leaders represent many churches as well as farming communities and are provide valuable access to many others in the community that might not even be involved in the sport scene.
During the Confederations Cup in 2009 successful training for Kids Games clubs were done. What impressed them most was the fact that these communities were so enthusiastice that they started running successful Kids Games Clubs all by themselves!
Because of this investment 2010 has now opened up several opportunities in other areas. Capturing the energy of 2010 and put it to work for the kingdom of God! Bredasdorp, Swellendam Mpumulanga are now planning even bigger events than that what was done in De Doorns.
