Do you have a heart to see young people in your community engaged with the Gospel?
Are you looking for relevant evangelism models that are effective in our modern world?
Are you interested in a vehicle that can drive discipleship and sustained church growth for years to come?
If the answer is “yes,” then a partnership with Breakaway Outreach could serve you well. We would love to chat with you about utilising our turnkey “American Sports Camp” model for youth outreach in your community. These intercultural camps have tremendous appeal with young people and can be facilitated at any kind of venue.
Our turnkey sports camp model has a proven track record for effective evangelism, follow up ministries, pathways for discipleship, and organic church growth.
Gospel-Destitution in the UK
In an age when young people are running from the church, God is using sports camps to reach youth with the Gospel and re-engage them with the church.
Religious statistics made headlines when the results of Census 2021 revealed that, for the first time, fewer than half of people in England and Wales describe themselves as Christian. Moreover, the British Social Attitudes Survey reveals that 65% of 18-24 year-olds say they belong to no religion, and only 18% say they are Christians.
Apathy to the message of the Bible and its teaching is undoubtedly growing across the region.
What Else is Growing in the UK?
American sports! Over 86,000 fans attended the most recent NFL London series match (a record attendance set for an NFL London series match), and nearly 110,000 fans attended the most recent MLB baseball series in London. The good news is that your church can leverage the growing popularity of American sports in the UK by partnering with Breakaway Outreach and accredited US coaches. We provide “turnkey” solutions for you to run American Sports Camps as youth outreach events in your community. These events lead to effective spiritual next steps as 87% of young people attending Breakaway camps connect with follow up ministries beyond the initial event. This outreach model speaks for itself, and the results are helping churches grow in an otherwise dismal spiritual landscape.
Breakaway Outreach UK Sports Ministry Partnerships offer:
- Turnkey solutions for youth outreach in the UK (“Sports Camp in a Box”)
- Fresh expressions of evangelism with seamless pathways for discipleship
- Renewed missional enthusiasm for church teams, youth workers, and church planting movements

Would your church like to implement an effective outreach strategy to reach more families in your community? Would you like to see sustained growth year after year? Do you want to see young people come to Jesus and develop into leaders in your church? We can help you achieve your outreach goals.
Our “sport camp in a box” offers a seamless approach to evangelism and “next steps” for discipleship. This camp model helps your church to reach youth, families, and entire communities for Jesus.
Sport is a universal language with intercultural appeal and can be leveraged for Gospel influence.
Running a week-long sports camp or series of sports outreach clinics have proven to be highly effective platforms in reaching gospel-destitute youth and families in any context.
