In almost two decades, Sports Quest has reached over 25,000 kids (& their families) in the

Houston area with the gospel message through soccer.

The ministry has also extended to areas outside Houston such as Austin, Louisiana and

Mississippi and as far reaching as Ecuador and Guatemala.

Tens of thousands of additional impressions are made each year by promoting the Sports

Quest brand in the community and through strategic partners such as churches, para-church

organizations, soccer associations, soccer leagues and schools.

Through the use of media platforms, Sports Quest generates countless page views on their

website, Facebook, Instagram and on YouTube. And through its aggressive marketing

campaigns, it is estimated that Sports Quest engages an audience of over 100,000 annually

through camps alone.

We believe that a primary benefit of partnering with

Sports Quest is the knowledge that you play an integral part

in reaching kids for Christ through the game of soccer.

Would you please prayerfully consider joining our TEAM…

Together we can make a difference both now and for eternity!

SPORTS QUEST INC. OVERVIEW

W W W . S P O R T S Q U E S T T R A I N I N G . C O M

Our Strategy Sports Quest is dedicated to developing players and promoting the game of soccer at all levels in a Christian

environment. Since 1996, our motto, “Building Character On And Off The Field” has been a commitment which

is woven into each training session, camp experience and every game. Players are encouraged to develop their

personal integrity and spiritual lives while being trained to fulfill their highest athletic goals and aspirations.

Our Ministry Intentional personal development is based on Biblical teaching and the Christian

belief that Jesus has provided the way through which anyone may have a personal

relationship with God (Romans 5:8). Sports Quest staff disciple players who have

previously accepted Christ as their Personal Savior, while providing a positive

example to players who do not share the Christian faith.

Our Promise Excellence and integrity permeate our soccer training sessions and our business

practices. Trainers work under the supervision of nationally licensed coaches to ensure

quality in player and team development, while a seven member board of business professionals ensure

financial and operational accountability.

Our Services Sports Quest currently provides:

Club Training – Individual and team training for players aged 5 through 18 years at all skill levels Homeschool Training – Training for middle and high school aged students with teams competing at the

National level Camps – Week long summer camps throughout Houston Outreach – Camps for disadvantaged youth, prison ministry, mission trips, second kick (soccer donations)

SPORTS QUEST INC. TESTIMONIALS

FIESTA FOOD MART

Fiesta has been a proud sponsor of Sports Quest for the past 18 years! From a purely business standpoint, I love to see

Sports Quest soccer shirts with the Fiesta logo proudly worn all over the

community. Jim and Debbie Spence have a reputation for excellence in

every facet of their soccer programs and camps.

From observing Sports Quest staff in action, I see the positive influence

they have with the kids (and parents). Teaching soccer skills and

sportsmanship is important, even more so is the spiritual component

Sports Quest brings to these young players.

Lives in our community have definitely benefitted from the partnership

Fiesta has experienced with Sports Quest. I can wholeheartedly

recommend other corporations and individuals invest in the young people in our community by partnering with Sports

Quest.

XARA SOCCER

“Xara Soccer has had the pleasure of partnering with Sports Quest Ministries for the last 7 years. Sports Quest’s

unsurpassed dedication to the Greater Houston community provides many families with memories and experiences far

beyond a soccer field. The Sports Quest program focuses on helping instill rich life &

family values through Christ and Soccer. As a partner we are proud to be part of the

Sports Quest family, and look forward to partnering for many years to come.

Adam Girdlestone, Regional Manager

SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH, HOUSTON

Having been in church ministry for 16 years, I have seen a lot of para-church ministries,

particularly those related to sports & wellness. Sports Quest ministry is one of the

elite who do it RIGHT. The Spence’s understand how to use sports as an “arm” for

God’s Kingdom, reaching out to young people in a fresh, relevant way. Sports Quest is

a model of what sports ministry can be, both to churches and the community in

general. It is a quality soccer program – it is organized, and the instructors are top-

notch. Kids feel loved on while they are being coached and while they learn about

Christian principles. We wish every sports ministry operated like Sports Quest, and we

hope someday that Sports Quest programs would be available in every team sport! We are always proud to partner with

Sports Quest in our ministry at Second.

Kristy Holidy, Director of Family Life

HOUSTON’S FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH

Sports Quest uses soccer to help us connect with our community and effectively share Christ with them. Jim and Debbie

Spence do a great job of connecting participants with our church. Over years of partnership, we've found Sports Quest to

be an excellent partner in ministry. Expect professionalism, high quality instruction and a true heart for God when

working with Sports Quest!

SPORTS QUEST INC. TESTIMONIALS

W W W . S P O R T S Q U E S T T R A I N I N G . C O M

We are very grateful for the soccer camp you all put on! It is a most wonderful time for both Biblical teaching and

encouragement AND superb soccer training. We cannot say enough great things about our

kids' week at soccer camp! They grew in likeness with soccer and more in love with the Lord.

Thank you.

Molly Urbani – Parent

Thank you for a fabulous week of soccer camp for our two children. This was our third year in

Sport Quest, and I'm more impressed each year with the quality program you put together,

from both a skills and especially a spiritual perspective. I greatly appreciate the emphasis on

perseverance and hard work to earn awards, as well as the value you place on character

development, rather than the prevalent self-esteem "everybody-gets-a-trophy-whether-you-

worked-or-not" approach. More than that, I love that the focus and glory is always directed

toward Jesus as our all-in-all. Thank you for pouring Christ--His love and His truth--into my

children. I think they get more out of Sports Quest than they do from VBS! We're very blessed to

be able to enjoy Sports Quest each year, and pray that will continue for years to come. May the Lord richly bless your

efforts as you follow Him. Many thanks!

Kathy McDaniel - Parent

We just wanted to say big THANK YOU for the camp last week at First Baptist Church. Our son had a wonderful time and

really enjoyed everything the camp had to offer. I thought it ran very well, clear from registration to the end. Even the

little touches like waving us out of the car park with a friendly smile was lovely. Michael enjoyed the coaching, it was done

really well and professionally, as a result he got a lot out of it. It was delight for us to see his good behavior, he tried hard

to raise his hand and not shout out, listening skills and skills on the pitch were rewarded at the end with a medal. It is all

ready to be packed to show family in England next week! Thank you, we are very eager for more Sport Quest

opportunities in the future. Please also pass on our appreciation all the staff.

Linda Bashford – Parent

Thanks to all of you!!! My boys had a fantastic time. This was the first time at Sports Quest

soccer camp, and it was great. We will definitely be coming back next year and I've already

told so many friends about it. Thanks for a great week! The fancy footwork hasn't stopped

yet! God Bless!!

Brooke Sisan - Parent

I wanted to thank you so much for encouraging me to get out of my comfort zone and share

what God has done in my life. I know I’m not always super enthusiastic about speaking in front

of people, but I’m so glad you pushed me to step out as a leader and share my faith with

others!

Emily Bishop – Camp Staff Member

My son took part in your soccer camp at the Regis school and loved it! He was sad when Friday came because he knew

that was his last day of camp. I fully intend to enroll him in another one of your soccer camps next summer. I also

appreciated the 'early bird special' you offered to families who signed kids up several months in advance. Hopefully, years

in the future, my son might be able to be one of the youth 'coaches' at your soccer camps.
