Soccer Convention scores a goal!

The soccer convention we held on Saturday, Oct. 22nd was a good first effort.

25 people from 17 organizations from 6 departments (states) in Haiti attended.

After we all introduced ourselves and our organizations, we discussed two main questions:

1) How can we work together to organize local, regional and eventually national soccer tournaments for youth in Haiti (U-12 to U-16).

2) How can we group together to find donors of soccer equipment and also ship it into the country at a reasonable cost and without paying customs.

We also introduced the game of Futsal to the delegates and had representatives of the Haitian National Amputee soccer team there to help everyone understand the game and help their young players appreciate those who have physical disabilities.

In addition, we had a display table of the Christian books we distribute, and handed out a lot of them. We hope that even the non-Christian teams will order books from us and that this will help us build relationships with them that could allow us to share the Gospel with them at a later time.
