1.Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What is The Ultimate Goal?
The Ultimate Goal is a network of local and international churches, para-church organisations and ministries all working together on one common goal: To bring hope and change to South Africa.
The Ultimate Goal’s vision is to mobilize and empower the body of Christ to bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the world through the platform of the 2010 soccer event.
We want to train and mobilize at least 2000 churches in at least 600 of South Africa’s towns and cities to run some form of outreach during the event, and to reach at least 14 million people during that time. We do not provide churches/organisations with volunteers or programmes, we train the people from the church/organisation.
The Ultimate Goal would like to leave a legacy behind of sustainable charity programmes addressing certain social issues that can continue even beyond 2010. This includes orphanage visits, prison visits, charitable fundraising, human trafficking, etc.
- Who is The Ultimate Goal for?
The Ultimate Goal is for any church, organisation or individual. Even if you are not part of an organisation or church, as an individual you can volunteer your services and become a part of outreach activities in your area.
- Who do I contact?
For any information you can contact the TUG Call Centre on 0861 2010 SA (72). There you will find assistance with everything, and the contact details you are looking for will be made available.
- How can I get involved?
Firstly you can contact the Call Centre for any information you need to know, this will make is easier for you to identify your area of involvement within TUG.
Then go to the website at and register. This will keep you in the loop, you will receive monthly News- and Prayer letters and have the freedom to browse the website and view all the download items, resources, programmes, events and much more.
- Can I bring a team/group to do ministry even without a ministry contact in South Africa?
Yes, you can! The Ultimate Goal is a network made up of many different ministries, churches and organisations, which enable us to place you effectively with a local partner (ministry, church, organisation) according to your interest, skills and experience.
- What are the costs involved for a mission team coming to South Africa for the World Cup™?
There are a few main areas that you need to consider with regards to the costs involved:
- Flights: Depending on where you are coming from, this will form the major part of your costs. Flights during the Cup dates are very expensive and difficult to find, so it is worth considering booking flights before or after the tournament dates.
- Transport: Many churches/ministries and service providers are making vehicles available. However, fuel and vehicle hire is a considerable expense to consider.
- Accommodation & meals: Many churches are open to hosting mission teams and volunteers. Alternatively, there are many Christian campsites (with dorm rooms) and guest houses available that are very reasonably priced.
- Optional activities: South Africa has MANY wonderful sights to see, so if you have time (and some extra money) it is well worth your while experiencing some of the incredible places God has blessed this country with.
Our service providers are able to help you with more detailed costs around a proposed trip, so please contact us for more information:
- We/I have never been on a mission trip to Africa. How do we/I go about putting together all the necessary arrangements?
The Ultimate Goal works with several service providers that have many years’ experience of hosting international mission teams. Their efficient staff on the ground will be able to help you to put together a suitable ministry schedule, as well as work through the necessary logistics (accommodation, transport etc.) surrounding your stay here.
- How soon do we need to start making arrangements?
If you haven’t started already, you need to start NOW! Arrangements during this exciting event are not only more expensive than usual, but also scarcely available, so the sooner you can start working on the necessary arrangements, the better!
- What areas of ministry can we get involved in?
There are a vast number of different areas in which a team can get involved in, including sports, arts (music/drama etc.), children’s ministry, social responsibility etc. Please see TUG website for further areas of ministry and how you can become involved.
- How can my church as a congregation get involved?
What is going to be happening during the World Cup™ with regards to Creative Arts?
Teams have been set up in 5 of the Host cities. These teams will be responsible for planning and implementing Christian Creative Arts Events and Outreaches, using a wide variety of creative arts (choirs, street carnivals, praise and worship events, fine arts exhibitions, open air performances, festivals, bands, drama, puppets etc.) to tell The Greatest Story that’s ever been told.
Where will the Christian creative arts outreaches take place?
These events and outreaches will take place specifically where there is an Arts in Action! Team.
How do I or my church get involved in the Arts in Action!
- Christian creative artists volunteer your talents and perform and minister during the Soccer event.
- Churches host performing groups who can assist with ministry within your church and community.
- Creative Arts training available for your church or community
- Churches with creative arts teams have the opportunity to get involved with the events already planned in their cities.
2.Guideline to select suitable Programmes and Projects for different target groups
How to use it: We recommend you select 1 or 2 which compliment and enhance the specific focus area of your church. In other words when your church’s focus is children and is in the rural areas you will find suitable programmes in the green area!
The number behind the Programmes, in brackets, is the number where you can look at an overview and contact details on the Programmes and Projects document.

2. CHURCH SERVICE THEMES
Sport themed church services can be used effectively to impact the local congregation as well as providing the congregation with an excellent opportunity to invite non churched friends and other people to come to the service. The sport theme and/or witness by a local or national sport celebrity provide the church with an effective bridge into the lives of the members and non members as 85% of people relate to sport as either participants or spectators on a weekly bases. Sport celebrities also serve as powerful role models into the lives of others, thus people listen to their advice and witness.
A document is provided on the TUG website Downloads, sub folder Service Outreach. This will serve to assist in the planning and practical implementation of such a service. You can also contact the Call Centre to fax or email a copy to you!
A five minute World Cup™ moment for every Sunday service is also provided on the website .This runs up to the Sunday after the final. This moment includes a suggested video clip to play, prayer guidelines as well as other information. It is currently only available in Afrikaans, but can be easily adapted and translated.

9.SERVICE OUTREACH
TUG Service Outreach refers to practical activities where the Body of Christ can become involved in the vicinity of the stadium, official public viewing area or non-official public viewing areas during the soccer event in 2010 in South Africa. The purpose of these outreaches is to serve the visitors to South Africa as well as the South Africans.
In principle, Service Outreach also provides a platform from where other activities can be launched such as prayer initiatives and evangelism outreaches. As such, a Service Outreach should be linked to a Service Base Church (SBC) which offers its facility/resources to the Body of Christ.
