Vincent Asamoah, SportsLife Ghana Director, has a God-sized strategic plan called “Vision 2030,” which he views as crucial for sustainable growth throughout his country.

“Our goal is to raise a new generation of Christ-centered leaders through sports.” – Vincent Asamoah

“Africa’s challenges stem not from a lack of resources but from the absence of God-fearing leaders. For real transformation, we need leaders in nations, churches, communities, and families,” Asamoah explained.

Asamoah joined the SportsLife team last October, largely due to his longstanding relationship with SportsLife President Dan Britton.

“Vincent is remarkable,” Britton noted. “I’ve known him for nearly 20 years and witnessed his commitment to effecting change in Ghana through sports ministry. He’s adept at mobilizing people and casting vision.”

Each year, Asamoah and his team will focus on a specific initiative. This inaugural year of Vision 2030 emphasizes Foundation, followed by Growth, Scale, Maturity, and Legacy over the next four years.

Vision 2030 rests on five transformation goals: building a comprehensive funding infrastructure, transitioning from stagnation to multiplication, moving from informal to professional, evolving from leader-dependent to system-driven, and achieving national recognition.

The strategic pillars supporting these goals include:

• Revenue and Partnerships
• Capacity and People
• Outreach and Reach
• Excellence and Impact

As Asamoah aims to strengthen the ministry foundation, he cites many success stories, including the addition of Selorm Logoh, Director of Operations. Logoh’s journey began with Asamoah’s community basketball program at Trinity Baptist Church in Kumasi.

“Before getting involved with the program, I had no direction. It provided me with a keystone moment in my walk with the Lord. The Gospel spoke to me in a way I needed.” – Seloram Philip Logoh

Logoh returned to school, passed his exams, and pursued undergraduate and postgraduate studies in political science. Asamoah not only mentored him but also facilitated mission trips to Madagascar and South Africa to minister to the next generation of leaders.

“I never want to miss the chance to impact other young people,” Logoh shared. “Since 2014, I’ve volunteered for camps and embraced opportunities in sports ministry. Now, I’m privileged to be on staff.”

Asamoah relied heavily on Logoh to develop the ministry’s 31-page Vision 2030. A key concept within it, “Forge,” focuses on discipling coaches and leaders for sports ministry.

“Our secret sauce is discipleship,” Britton emphasized. “We aim to disciple sports leaders who will then disciple others. Vincent has been doing this for years, raising leaders like Selorm.”

Another vital aspect of Vision 2030 is “Every Space,” which stresses the importance of utilizing sports venues through partnerships with schools and churches.

“We recognize that our mission is vast and can’t be accomplished alone,” Asamoah stated. “We want to partner with churches to disciple young people through sports.”

A broader ambition includes establishing a “School of Ball,” an academy that will train athletes and prepare them for professional sports. Long-term, Asamoah envisions a capital campaign to build a sports ministry and training facility dubbed “Home of Champions.”

Logoh sees Vision 2030 as an opportunity to impact Ghanaian athletes, coaches, and leaders.

“Many young people turn to sports as an outlet, seeking community during uncertain times. Without sports ministry, my story would be entirely different.” – Seloram Philip Logoh

For Asamoah, who has dedicated much of his life to making disciples, Vision 2030 represents a new chapter in reaching the lost and guiding a nation toward Christ.

“Seeing Selorm’s growth, I believe he can lead this program when I step down,” Asamoah said. “He thinks long-term and has a clear vision for the future. With the right resources, he can help us achieve our goals. God is truly raising up a new generation of Christ-centered sport leaders in Ghana.”
