Background

Sports has become a dominant factor in human society across the globe. It is a language that crosses nations and cultures and is a common meeting point for all kinds of peeople. Because of this, AEA's Youth and Sports Commission-YSC is providing an environment that can aid the churches in creating opportunities for expression of body-life-evangelism and discipleship.

Vision: Africa for Jesus.

The massive resources of Africa's Youth and the dynamic tool of Sports working together constitute a significant contribution to finishing the task of World Evangelization by reaching countries and communities with the Gospel. AEA YSC has been able to reach these objectives through:
