The World is Coming to Houston!

Houston becomes a global crossroads as the world’s premier soccer event brings the nations to our city this summer. With over 500,000 visitors expected in Houston and billions watching worldwide, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to engage cultures and share the Gospel with people who may have never heard the Good News of Jesus Christ.

This moment is more than short term outreach—it can become a lasting legacy of transformation through united churches, equipped believers, and changed lives across Greater Houston long after the final match.

How Your Church Can MAKE An Impact

Whether together as a church family or as individuals or families serving on their own, your members have many opportunities to advance the Gospel as this international event comes to Houston:

PRAY

  • Participate in Awaken Houston (Feb 18-Apr 5) with prayer, fasting, and preparation during Lent.
  • Attend Prayer Walking at NRG Stadium (Sat, Mar 28 @ 9-10 am).
  • Join citywide Prayer Walks near stadiums, the primary fan event, and outreach sites.

PARTICIPATE

Engage your church in citywide outreach through:

  • SoccerFests (Soccer Camps + Worship + Gospel Invitation)
  • Watch Parties
  • Festivals of Nations in neighborhoods/apartments

PROCLAIM

  • Engage international visitors in Gospel conversations at the primary fan event and in community spaces.
  • Get trained in cross-cultural outreach and Gospel conversations.

How Your Church Can BE Impacted

We look forward to hearing how churches are blessed by their involvement in Winning Houston! For example, in other citywide initiatives, churches have seen:
  • Strengthened connections through a shared experience with others.
  • Members learning and applying skills they can use going forward.
  • Interest sparked among members to continue serving after the event – in their churches, communities, or on the mission field.
