Karl launched “All Nations Sports Ministries”
and kicked it off with our first Soccer Festival! 125 kids
came – and soon they were broken into stations…
– eating a light lunch,
– learning a soccer skill (change of direction),
– playing soccer games,
– competing for prizes at skill challenges,
– learning the story of Zacchaeus with oral story
telling (a man in the Bible who changed the direction of
his life)
A group of drug-dealing gangsters from Masiphumele
(The Naughty Boys) mentioned off-handedly to a friend of
ours that they wouldn’t be causing so much trouble
if they had something to DO... they just want to play soccer!
Karl met with the guys, they picked a day, and before you
knew it Karl had 18 gangsters out on the soccer field, laughing
and enjoying a friendly game of soccer. They couldn’t
get enough of it and begged Karl to come back the next day.
Karl is so excited to be mentoring this group of young men!
