Russ & Sue Carr
Africa & American Urban Centers

Ministry Overview: The Carrs live in Virginia which serves as their base of operations. The organization they founded, Sports Outreach Institute, is focused in Africa with primary work in Uganda, Rwanda and Kenya. The Carrs also coordinate work in Mexico, minister in some of the inner-cities of the U.S. and have recently launched a community-wide youth and family ministry here in the states. SOI is involved in a variety of programs targeting traumatized children in East Africa as well as a new program reaching several hundred slum children. The ministry is based on building long-term relationships with the children and others with whom we work. 

Their ministry involves coordinating and overseeing all of these programs as well as teaching, training, conducting seminars and workshops in sports ministry, holding various clinics and hands-on outreach. We also lead U.S. groups to Africa and Mexico as time permits. 

Prayer Requests: Pray that Sports Outreach will touch many lives for Christ as it works with some of the neediest people on earth. Pray that the new believers will grow strong in their faith and take up leadership roles in the near future. Pray for protection as they venture into some of the war zones of Africa carrying the message of God’s love. Pray also for their growing work in Mexico and their various ministries here in the U.S.
