I am so proud!!!!

The line up and final instructions for the championship game. We were excited but also the boys were nervous because they didn't have their leader and captain Money. He was not allowed to play because of the red card that he had received in the previous game.


The team that we were playing comes from a church that works with CAMA Services. Pretty cool huh? This is me talking to Soc Geah about moving into open space and taking the ball to the corner to pull the defense out and cross the ball into the open space that he had just made.


This is Pisey, our smallest player with the biggest heart. He earned his starting position with his dedication and hard work. We played hard but in the end lost 3-1. It was our first time to lose in our undefeated season. The other team was extremely rough and aggressive but I watched with pride as they did not fight back in the physical fouls but played the game with their hearts. I watched as everyone of them cheered and encouraged one another on. I was finally seeing the fruit of the Lord.


At the end of the game each of the boys wanted a photo with their coach. This is Pisey and me.


At the end of the season party I watched my team stand up in the second place spot. And was so full of love and joy but most of all was thankful that the Lord had put me in their lives and I got to see His work in them.

How to I get them to Fight for Jesus.

The day started out as a wonderful photo filled day full of excitement and antisipation. This game could get us to the finals.
Here's our professional team photo.

The game started out fun but full of nervous energy. The other team knew that they were not at the same skill level so it became on their end a fight for body strength not soccer skill. By half time our team was up by two goals. Goals that were scored from Penalty Kicks. This is our best player Money. He received the golden boot award for the season, which means he scored the most goals out of all the teams.



At half time I encouraged them and okay maybe a little yelling for them to work as a team and to not get aggressive or retaliate to the physical battle that was happening on the field.



During the second half we scored our third goal. But the aggression had long pasted normal and ended up into a huge fight where I ran into the middle of a violent storm of the craziest fighting I have ever yet to witness. I saw what once was joyful eyes turn to eyes full of hate and violence. Boys had trash cans and coconuts ready to smash into peoples heads. But thankfully no one was hurt. The Game ended at that final moment. They gave us the win but they gave two red cards to two of my players including Money our leading scorer.
