"To provide sport, performing arts, ministry, cultural, and relational opportunities for students in East Asia International
Evangelical Christian high schools."
The 2025 Tri-Sport service project hosted by Morrison Academy Kaohsiung was a cooperative effort with Taiwan Sunshine that involved over 200 ACSC athletes and 100 athletes from special needs schools around Kaohsiung. Taiwan Sunshine Director Uwe Mauer briefed the ACSC athletes with a variety of lessons on how to support the Taiwan Sunshine athletes as well as various strategies for inclusive play in a sports setting. This briefing dove-tailed with his opening devotion that centered around the idea that all people, regardless of their physical and intellectual abilities, are fearfully and wonderfully made and are put on earth to glorify God.
Even when things are hard.
Even when things are challenging.
After the briefing with Uwe Mauer, ACSC athletes were paired up with Taiwan Sunshine athletes for the day's events. Athletes used their physical gifts to participate in a variety of Tri-Sport based games like dribbling and shooting soccer balls, passing and shooting basketballs and at times finding their own ways to have fun and be physically active. We hope that this experience was an opportunity for athletes' world views to grow in regards to how we treat people with special needs and that we all deserve the opportunity to be included as we are all a part of God's creation.
In 2024, more than 200 ACSC II student-athletes participated in Stand with Refugees, a half-day service project designed to educate them of the global refugee crisis, equip them to serve refugee school students in Malaysia, and empower them to positively impact refugee communities in their home countries. The event included an introductory session, where students learned the basic definitions, causes, and characteristics of refugees; a camp, where students planned and led recreational activities for more than 100 refugee elementary school students; and breakout sessions, where students explored specific ways they can serve refugees in their own contexts. A post-service survey indicated that nearly every participating student not only gained awareness of the refugee crisis, but also recognized the importance of helping refugees and learned specific ways to do so.
