A global game and a life changing message
SoccerPlus NZ began in 1998 with a three week mission to Singapore and The Czech Republic.
19 footballers from New Zealand (including an Iranian and a Glaswegian) set off to play and coach football while sharing the love of Christ.
It was a massive success.
Since then SoccerPlus NZ has been regularly taking the gospel around the world with the aid of a football. We have been to Germany, Singapore, Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, South Africa, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile and Vanuatu.
The adventure continues with planned trips to Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Argentina, Nigeria, Uganda, Guinea Bissau, Solomon Islands and Bangladesh.
SoccerPlus NZ also established a very successful kids football camp ministry they we had to reduce a few years ago. Twice a year we do run football weekends for for people 12 years +
The vision of SoccerPlus NZ is to keep opening doors of possibility to bring football and ministry together
So, get to know us and maybe we can find a way to serve Jesus together.
