Fenick shares with the group
Fenick teaches about Discipleship
This week my summer intern and I, Fenick Beldor, have trained leaders from a large denomination in Haiti how to use soccer to reach children and youth with the Gospel.
We shared with them the concept that Paul taught in 1 Corinthians 9:22 “…I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some.” Soccer is just one way we can build relationships with children and youth in Haiti. Clearly there are other ways, but few attract the young more in Haiti than soccer!
So we showed them some coaching techniques for children and youth and also how they can use a soccer ball as an illustration of spiritual concepts.
We also showed them Neil Cole’s “Life Transformation Groups” (www.cmaresources.org) concepts as a way of discipling young believers and helping keep themselves accountable as well.
While we were not teaching, I took some time with my staff to plan how to train our teams in Futsal, or 5-a-side soccer. We plan to use this type of soccer with our teams in the future.
In all it was a great week of training and enjoying God’s creation by the Ocean.
