The Elgin Corps has launched a new youth outreach ministry: Dodgeball. Every Wednesday night 50 plus youth come to their corps’ gym to play Dodgeball for a couple of hours. At the end of the night they give a short devotional, pray with the youth and slowly build relationships that focus on bringing youth into the Kingdom of God. This is an exciting program where primarily bi-lingual youth attend and have even started bringing their parents to attend.
This type of Dodgeball outreach proves to be effective, fun and exciting. Two other Corps: Oakbrook Terrace and Tri-City also have weekly Dodgeball outreaches in the Metropolitan Division.
Are you interested in launching a Salvation Army Dodgeball Outreach at your Corps? Contact Eric Himes for more information.
