Futsal training on La Gonave

We start the month of August with the training of 8 teams on the island of La Gonave that sits in the middle of the bay of Port-au-Prince.

Futsal is 5-a-side soccer that in some ways is similar to basketball. It is played with four players and a goalie.

We are trying to introduce Futsal to our schools because it is easier to play and learn than 11-a-side soccer, more closely resembles the way Haitians play soccer in the street, and will cost less to equip each team, since a complete futsal team only has 12 players.

We are also training chaplains and administrators to help manage the teams and provide spiritual instruction!

So please pray for us as we travel and train!
