Tanzania Hope Tour 2026

From the Villages of Tanzania to the Nations

Dear Friends,

On behalf of ANS Ministries, thank you for your prayers, generosity, and partnership during the Tanzania Hope Tour 2026. Because of your support, we witnessed God move in powerful ways throughout the Gairo District of Tanzania from May 31 to June 7.

Working alongside our ministry partners—Africa Vision, Acts of Life Tanzania, YWAM Morogoro, and Rio de Vida Church (Dallas)—our team had the privilege of sharing the Gospel, serving local communities, and demonstrating the love of Christ through both word and action.

Every individual who made a decision to follow Christ during the crusades completed a follow-up card, allowing local churches to continue discipleship and pastoral care long after our team has returned home.

The ANS Cup: Soccer with an Eternal Purpose

One of the most impactful parts of the outreach was the ANS Cup evangelistic soccer tournament.

What began as a sporting event became a platform for sharing the hope of Christ with players, coaches, families, and spectators. Throughout the tournament, relationships were built, communities gathered, and the Gospel was proclaimed.

We estimate that approximately 100 individuals made professions of faith during the final day of the tournament alone.

This is why ANS Ministries exists—to use the world’s game to reach the world with the Gospel.

A Practical Demonstration of God’s Love

Beyond the preaching of the Gospel, the team had opportunities to demonstrate Christ’s compassion in tangible ways.

Children received gifts and school supplies. Families received food assistance. New believers received Bibles. Entire communities witnessed the Church serving with humility, joy, and genuine love.

These moments opened doors for conversations, relationships, and ongoing ministry throughout the region.

Special thanks to our ministry partners during the Tanzania Hope Tour 2026:

Together, we witnessed hundreds of lives transformed and thousands impacted by the message of Jesus Christ.

As Scripture reminds us:

“He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 1:6

What’s Next: Rome, Italy

While we celebrate all that God accomplished in Tanzania, we are already preparing for the next ministry opportunity on the horizon.

USF7 Intercontinental Cup – Rome, Italy

This late july, ANS Ministries will lead the USA delegation to the USF7 Intercontinental Cup in Rome, Italy, through our Football 7 ministry program.

The tournament will bring together national teams from multiple countries, creating a unique opportunity to represent the United States while building relationships across cultures through the game of soccer.

For ANS Ministries, this is about much more than competition. It is another opportunity to use sport as a bridge for ministry, leadership development, and international connections that can open doors for future Gospel outreach.

While Tanzania represented a traditional mission field, Rome presents a unique sports ministry field. Both provide opportunities to build meaningful relationships, demonstrate Christ’s love, and share the Gospel through the universal language of soccer.

As we prepare for Rome, we are currently raising support to help cover player registration, travel expenses, and ministry-related costs associated with representing the USA on the international stage.

We would greatly appreciate your prayers as we:
