This summer, we had the privilege of partnering with Champions in Action in Guatemala. Champions in Action works with the disadvantaged youth of Guatemala who live in inner-city areas where poverty, gangs, violent crime, broken families, and drug/alcohol abuse are day-to-day realities. These kids grow up in environments where father figures and positive adult influences are scarce.
Imago Dei Soccer was able to send Andres to serve as a coach and translator for their summer program. Their programs are designed with the goal of using soccer to share the hope, love, and restoration that only Christ can give.
Ball Program
50 soccer balls were sent to Guatemala through the Ball Program. This program presents the gospel through the gift of a soccer ball that reminds each person they are created in the Imago Dei (Image of God).
Anahi’s Story
13 year old girl who participates in Champions in Acton in Guatemala.
Anahí has been sexually abused by her dad for most of her life. Her dad is currently in prison, and she now lives safely with her mom and four brothers. During the summer program that Andres assisted with, God softened her heart and she was able to forgive her dad. She then accepted Christ and got baptized. We are praying for her as she begins her journey with Jesus, and Champions in Action will be there to walk beside her each day.
We just want to say thank you! Your generosity is key in fueling what God is doing in the Triad and beyond through Imago Dei Soccer. If you are interested in finding out more click the button below!
