We thank God for the week that has just passed, for the football/soccer activities in the village that went really well because of the grace of God. After preparing for 2-3 months, we were able to hold a tournament to help build relationships in the village. There were 6 teams that came together to play. The results: we received great responses from the teams and people in the villages as well as the other teams that came to take part.
At the same time, younger people and children in the village observed, learnt, and even showed more interest in playing soccer. They have shown a desire to come together and develop their skills and abilities in playing soccer. They are showing an interest in taking part in the soccer program that I want to run in the village from the end of March until mid April. We want to help build these children up and reach them through soccer. In order to do this we will run the soccer program in my village and will have a schedule for soccer training in the morning from 6:30-8am and in the evening from 4-6pm. This will be for the under 16’s in the village (around 12 people are interested).
We are really excited at how God is using soccer ministry to build relationships and share His love with people who have never experienced it. This then gives us the chance to explain through both words and actions what God has done for them. This is our main goal in running these activities.
I am really thankful to God and to all of you for your continued prayers and support for us. We are very in need of this support from our family in Christ and always will be. Thank you so much!
