THE TEAM
TEAM LEADER: Jordan Wolfe & Kameron Kixmiller
This team will get to spend a week with our friends at the Buena Vista Sports Academy in Guatemala. This incredible ministry pours into the lives of young boys and girls using soccer as a way to share life and the Gospel. The goal of the team is to build relationships with the Rhinos (soccer team) players, as well as the Leiva family who coordinates this ministry. Please note, this location of this trip requires good health and ability to engage in strenuous physical activity including walking distances with steep inclines. You will get to help with their summer kids program and spend time with the Rhinos and other kids in the community and their families playing, worshipping and getting to know each other!

BVSA - Quiche
Founded in 2010, Buena Vista Sports Academy exists to take the gospel of Jesus Christ to tough places around the world, disciple boys and young men through daily Bible teaching, plant or partner with local churches, and see individuals, families, and communities come to saving faith in Christ. The model of Soccer Academies helps serve as a means to that end. There are currently BVSA Academies in Honduras and Guatemala, and strategic partnerships in West African and Central African countries.
Over the years, as the Lord began calling more missionaries to join us in the field, we began to form into a small mission organization. BVSA's missionaries, staff, and Board members are one big family, committed to the Great Commission.
The Quiché Project is underway in the central highlands of Guatemala, in the predominately Mayan region of Quiché.
After 10+ years of teaching the Bible and discipling young men, graduates of our academies began feeling the Lord's call into full time ministry. Without quality options nearby for furthering their study and preparation, the vision for the Quiché Project began to take shape.
In addition to the Soccer Academy, the plans for the Quiché Project include a Bible Institute focused on advanced Biblical studies, church planting, and the training and sending of Spanish-speaking pastors and missionaries. Of course, we continue receiving English-speaking missionary candidates as well.
The Quiché Bible Institute will offer further education in Bible, Theology, Pastoral Ministry, Global Missions, and more, to student residents onsite. It also gives us one location for all missionary and pastoral candidates to come and train over a longer period of time. Other short-term programs and courses will be available to anyone interested growing in their Biblical studies.
