Bringing Hope Through Football

Ambassador in Sport brings the message of Jesus through the game of Football aka Soccer. This past week Justin and William participated in the first ever AIS event in our town hosted by our church. Such an awesome experience for both boys.

The basic concept...teach them about soccer. Through teaching them the game of soccer they build relationships with each of the campers. They lead the campers in a daily prayer time and a daily bible lesson. The coaches for the camp are from the USA, Australia, England, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, Thailand. All with a heart for God and a foot for soccer!

It was a beautiful experience for each of the boys...it was so not about the soccer...but I do have pictures!:)

William...very passionate about the game!
