To bring attention to the needs of Disabled Haitians, the National Amputee Soccer Team played in front of a good crowd at the national stadium, and also was televised on National Television on Monday, Dec. 3rd.
To the add to the festivities, they marched down the main street and into the stadium with a banner in front of the teams: each from a different part of Port-au-Prince.
Ronald William,one of our AIS staff members, was asked to referee the game. There were lots of journalists there and the organizing committee was all dressed up.
USAID financed the match and even gave a cash prize to the winners. Of course the team we work with won!
So just remember we are all God's children, no matter who we are: Col. 3:11: "Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all and is in all."
Also remember we all have "disabilities" Some are physical, others are mental, and some are sinful habits. But that is why Christ came: Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
