The Brazilian Sports and Culture Center is a non-profit organization that recognizes sport as a complete culture, involving physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Sports have the capacity to inspire us and make us dream. They can both impress and influence as we see athletes and coaches apply biblical principles to overcome challenges and strive towards victory – in practice and competition. Our work is about meeting the Israeli society where it’s at, building bridges between people of different backgrounds. We aim to impact the society by using sports as a tool to bring peace and build deep relations among the Israeli community.
