NCCAA Student-Athletes, Coaches and Staff Impact Communities

Football players holding hands and praying in a downtown square and asking shoppers to donate food to local food banks. Soccer players and golfers praying with children and their parents during free clinics. Local volleyball teams attending the praise and prayer time of the National Volleyball Championship. NCCAA student-athletes and coaches ministering around the world. It’s what sets the NCCAA apart.

Annually, NCCAA staff, student-athletes and coaches perform approximately 2,000 hours of Christian outreach at NCCAA National Championships! Over 4,700 NCCAA student-athletes and coaches have received NCCAA funding for sports ministry trips. Lives are being changed!

This year, the NCCAA is also focusing on loving our neighbors during this economic crisis with an association-wide food drive. Teams participating in NCCAA Regional Championships have collected and donated non-perishable food items for local food banks in host communities around the U.S. Our goal was to collect 2 tons of food throughout this school year. Just with our fall and winter championship series, almost 4 tons (7,200+ lbs) of food plus several hundreds of dollars have been donated to dozens of food pantries across the country to help feed the needy!

Baseball	Central Region baseball teams collected food that will be donated to the New Beginnings Church food pantry in Oklahoma City, OK.
	During the National Baseball Championships, NCCAA student-athletes and coaches worked at Matthew 25 Ministries to sort medical and other supplies for humanitarian aid and disaster relief. 10,000 pounds of items were delivered to flash flooding victims in Appalachian Kentucky following the national championships.


Softball	All softball teams participating in the National Championship paired up with local youth teams to start the tournament with a cookout and a skills clinic with the youth participants as a part of the annual Christian Service Project.
	After having gone through about a one-hour skills clinic, the travel league teams, ranging from 8-14 in age, were also able to sit with the college teams and enjoy the meals on hand. With nearly perfect weather on hand for the event, all teams seemed to enjoy interacting while spreading the love of Christ through athletics.
Track & Field	Track & Field student-athletes held a food drive and presented it to Salvation Army of Marion, Indiana.
Indoor Track & Field	Indoor Track & Field participants collected approximately 100 pounds of food for a local food pantry. The pantry was open and food distributed to local needy families prior to the photo being taken.
DI Men's Basketball - Central Region	Central Region Division I Men's Basketball collected over 85 pounds of food to be distributed to a local food bank.

	Teams were given the opportunity to share with children at public schools.
DII Women's Basketball National Championship	Division II Women's Basketball teams held a free clinic for local youth and were able to witness to children and their families.
Division II Soccer	Local youth participated in a free soccer clinic offered during the 2008 Division II NCCAA National Soccer Championship. Over 90 local youth from Osceola County soccer clubs came out to participate in the 6th Annual NCCAA Clinic conducted by On Goal Soccer Ministry. The kids, age 4-14, were treated to a high energy series of training sessions on a beautiful night in Kissimmee. Over 40 NCCAA student-athletes served as clinicians as parents and local youth coaches gathered to watch. Once the training sessions were completed, On Goal staff shared the Good News of Christ by using a mini soccer ball with panels of black (sin), red (salvation), white (forgiveness), and green (new life). One parent summed up the event by stating, "These college kids really seem to enjoy spending time with our kids. There is a real connection." Such is the Body of Christ! The fourteen NCCAA teams then headed over to Campus Crusade for Christ to be treated to a dinner and time of fellowship. This marks the third year that CCC has provided this dinner and they have now fed over 1500 NCCAA Soccer player and coaches since 2006.
Men's Golf	NCCAA Championship Golfers Ace Food Drive (10/14/08) Regardless of how the 90 collegiate golfers competing in the NCCAA National Men's Golf Championship play in today's final round, they will already be winners in the eyes of the Panama City Rescue Mission. The players and coaches of NCCAA member universities collected over 200 pounds of food and contributed $250 toward the Rescue Mission's Food Pantry before teeing off for their final rounds. "This effort is central to the mission of the NCCAA and its member colleges," stated Dan Wood, NCCAA Executive Director. "The association has set a specific goal of collecting over 4,000 pounds of food for the host cities of our 21 National Championships during the 2008-09 championship calendar. With this being one of the smallest events relative to the number of competitors, we are thrilled to get off to such a good start," Wood added. Players delivered their team’s food to the scoreboard at The Hombre Golf Club before play began and then assisted Rescue Mission staff in loading for delivery. One school successfully challenged a local grocery store to match whatever they purchased and came away with over 30 pounds of food for their effort.
Division II East Region Women's Soccer	The NCCAA East Region Men’s Soccer Championship was hosted at Baptist Bible College (PA).

Thank you for helping us work towards fulfilling our purpose "helping the hurting in Jesus' name."
Division I Mid-East Region Volleyball	Approximately 130 pounds of food was collected at the DII Mid-East Region Volleyball Championship.

A single mother writes of her son’s experience at an NCCAA Christian Service Project for Soccer (Jamilla, Kissimmee, Florida):

"Through the NCCAA clinic, my 10 year old son received more quality time with a positive male role model than at any time in his life. Not only did the young man teach my son some new soccer skills, but he also prayed with him to receive Christ. The smile on my son’s face was priceless. Thank you for exposing our kids to such incredible young people. Only eternity will be able to display the true impact of your service."

From Dan Dunn, Men’s Basketball Coach, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, IL:

"Thank you for the generous financial support of our men’s basketball missions trip to Alaska. We worked with Native Americans and the local missionaries and pastors. The Lord helped us as we gave clinics, played games and let our light shine in a very spiritually needy area. God blessed the trip as the natives and Christian workers were excited about what the Lord was doing for them and in their lives. We were very blessed!"

From Mark Williams II, NCCAA Student-Athlete, Men’s Basketball Team, Dallas Christian College

My words cannot express how much I appreciate your prayers and financial support through the NCCAA for my mission trip to The Philippines. For two and a half weeks, we shared the gospel with over 25,000 people all over Panay Island. Over 6,700 people responded to the message of Christ and their information has been given to area churches for discipleship. This trip caused me to come out of my comfort zone and rely on God more. In return, I experienced God in a new and exciting way. Lives were changed forever because you supported the Lord’s work.
