2026 JV Romania - BB Men's Ministry
JV Romania - July 2026!
In 2026, the Blankenbaker Men’s Ministry of Southeast Christian Church will send a team to Romania to partner with Josiah Venture's EDGE Sports Romania, a ministry that exists to invest in the next generation by sharing the hope of the gospel through the platform of soccer. Their mission is Intentional Disciple-making through Church-Based Sports, and each camp is designed to connect teenagers with Christ in a fun, relational, and life-changing way. As part of the serving team, you will help lead football drills and games, encourage players on and off the field, and spend time building relationships with teens from all over Romania. Beyond the sport itself, you’ll have the chance to engage in conversations, share your faith, and be part of God’s work in shaping young lives. This is more than a camp, it's an opportunity to serve, evangelize, and make a lasting impact in the lives of Romanian youth. This mission will be a powerful opportunity for men of SECC to encourage Romanian believers, share the hope of the gospel with campers, and experience God’s work as He expands our vision for His kingdom.
