How we do it
In order to accomplish Vapor’s mission, a process is required. We fully equip a Vapor representative to assimilate into a third world environment and to effectively train, teach, enable, and empower local citizens to minister to their own people. Vapor works alongside a local community of believers in a third world environment. We send a Vapor rep to establish a Vapor Sports Center and to train, equip, and empower indigenous people. At the center, our newly trained staff conducts sports leagues where children of all ages participate in the training we call life-on-life discipleship.
Each sports center facilitates community improvement projects, provides clean drinking water, sponsors children’s education, allows for disease prevention, AIDS awareness, and basic health training. Vapor’s goal is to establish entirely self-sustaining works. We believe that local indigenous people, once equipped, are the most qualified to continue providing sustainable life-change amidst such abject poverty. As a result, Vapor Sports Ministry centers are produced in such a way to empower our indigenous staff to assume full responsibility of center advancement. Our involvement is then viewed through the lens of equipping vs. controlling and our process revolves around this principle.
Prior to entering the start of a new center, a Vapor representative undergoes a three-month intensive training course, called the Vapor Institute, which is located at our headquarters in Sylacauga, Alabama. The training encapsulates equipping the rep in the full effectiveness of global disciple making and cross-cultural leadership. The Institute is holistic and spiritual in nature as each section is designed to prepare the rep’s spiritual and personal self. In addition, it provides a practical foundation and offers an effective approach to carry out cross-cultural ministry. Upon completion of training, the rep is then sent out to establish a center for humanitarian aide and sustainable life change in a third world environment.
