We are currently holding evangelistic soccer tournaments in Verettes and Leogane. In Verettes, the tournament includes some public schools that we gave equipment to last summer when the “Right to Play” team from Canada was visiting. The final of this tournament will be March 31st.
In Leogane the tournament is just getting started. In talking to Pastor Guillaume, we heard an encouraging story. One of the older players involved in AIS Haiti is now playing on a First Division team. He is 17 years old. He was asked to play on the Haitian national team, but they wanted to falsify his birth certificate so he could play on a younger team. As a Christian, he refused to do this, and so was not selected.
This is the kind of Christian morals that we are trying to instill in the over 1,000 boys we are working with!
