Today we are having a training session for some of the coaches at the Delmas 48 (Petionville Club) IDP Camp.
We were suprised to find three AIS players in the country checking out what they could do to help Haiti. Richard asked them if they would consider doing a training day and they said "yes."! Since we had already done interviews in the Delmas 48 camp, we called the coaches (or potential coaches) and most of them were available.
One of the challenges in the country these days is where to play. Richard asked to use Quisqueya Chapel and that is working out.
Please pray for this preparation for ministry in Delmas 48. AND for so many homeless Haitians who had to endure a night of heavy rains last night. Many of them must get up and stand through the rain to avoid getting wet. Their belongings get wet, too. I'm not sure about those in tents either...if the tents held up under that long, heavy rain Most tents are not on top of tarps because there are so many people who still don't have their own tent or tarp.
Also, pray that the training will go well in spite of mud at the field.
Soccer coaches need to teach kids about rules and fundamentals, as well as physical tactics and strategy. Coaching kids' soccer can be as challenging as it is rewarding, to both the coach and student. They should be patient and cautious when dealing with young and impressionable minds and feet. Thanks a lot.
