The ETBU Golf Team embarked on the 13th Tiger Athletic Mission Experience (TAME) trip on Thursday afternoon, partnering with International Sports Federation. The group of 20 consisting of student-athletes, coaches and staff, traveled to St. Andrews, Scotland for an eight day mission trip.  
 
TAME was created in order to give ETBU Tiger student-athletes the opportunity to use their God-given talents and abilities to share their faith to people all across the globe, as they strive to transform the world for Christ. Since 2016, ETBU Athletics has sponsored trips to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Brazil, Serbia, Israel, Jamaica, Slovakia, France, Japan, and Greece. 
 
After an overnight flight and arriving in Edinburgh, the team traveled via bus to St. Andrews to check into their cabins and grab a late lunch.  The student-athletes spent the evening exploring the beach, before a time with the ISF staff for orientation and prayer for the week ahead.  
 
On Saturday morning, the team left their cabins to head back to Edinburgh for a day of service.  The group was divided into five groups across the city, all working in different areas of ministry alongside Bethany Christian Mission.  Group activities included gardening, painting, assisting in a homeless shelter, cleaning, cooking, sorting clothes and evangelism.   
 
"The ETBU Golf student-athletes have been nothing short of spectacular as they fought through exhaustion after a hectic travel schedule and adjusting to the time change. Once we arrived in Scotland, the team was excited to get started serving and after a good night's rest, the team spent their first full day ministering in Edinburgh. Our Tigers did an amazing job serving and I am looking forward to how the Lord will use these students to make an impact over the next week," said Vice President for Student Engagement and Athletics Ryan Erwin. "I'm excited to watch the Lord work through these student-athletes this week and would ask that you pray for the health and safety of our entire team and that the Lord would prepare the hearts of the individuals we encounter during our time in Scotland."
