Zambia

In 2016, a 9-hole disc golf course was built in Macha, Zambia with the hopes of giving kids a new sport to play and enjoy. Not knowing what the kids may think of throwing frisbees into baskets, we were pleasantly surprised when the sport took off like wildfire. Another mission team went back again in 2019 to help build an additional 9 holes and host the first-ever Zambia Open. During our time there, our staff was introduced to an amazing man named Wilborn, who was enjoying disc golf as much as anyone. By the end of the trip, Eagles Wings decided to hire him as our first international disc golf coach to host after-school programs and events throughout the year. Wilborn has now added two additional Eagles Wings part-time staff members to assist in coaching disc golf and maintaining the course. The team is doing an amazing job utilizing this disc golf course for ministry to disciple youth and young adults in the community.
