More About Shin Fujiyama, New North American Director of Soccer for Life And Leader of the Soccer Gear Donation Project

We are developing the Intibuca Youth Soccer Center as a live in residential soccer based non denominational place from street children and poor children. Children will experience the love of God by experiencing caring adults who value them and share with them. Soccer is the method we use to reach these youth and soccer will serve as a bridge to help them build meaningful lives. We will not promulgate any religion but they will have nondenominational chapel based on the Bible. In addition, the children will be encouraged to attend churches in the community. La Esperanza has Catholic, Episcopal, Mormon, Evangelical churches of many kinds.

Why An Ecojustic Program?

We are all involved in global warming. We drive cars, used electricity, and do all the things that increase greenhouse gases. Planting trees is one of the best methods to offset your carbon gas output. You are invited to come to Honduras to plant trees.

If you can't go to Honduras, sponsor the children of the Liga Menor in planting trees and playing soccer through the Honduras Youth Soccer Project. If you don't have used soccer gear to donate, and can't afford to sponsor tree planting in Honduras, plant trees here. If you can't plant trees here, form a prayer circle in your church or synagogue to support this soccer ministry to save our earth. If you can't form a prayer circle, pray alone.

You are a privileged person on this planet. This country takes 80 percent of the resources of the world to create and maintain its high tech society. You owe a carbon debt to the Earth. You owe the Earth the use of your knowledge, your resources and your sense of responsibility. Begin today to Restore Creation through the supporting the Soccer Against Global Warming Program.

Q. What is Soccer Ministry Ecojustice?

A. Soccer Ministry Ecojustice as it is being developed by the Soccer Ministry of the Intibuca Youth Soccer Center is the facilitation of an ecodevelopment system based on win-win scenario for all living forms on our planet. Thus Soccer Ministry Ecojustice entails doing everything - caring for our planet in such a way that all life forms, natural structures, agricultural and forestry systems, and human activities are carried out for the maintenance of diversity, the health of the soil and air of our planet.

Q. What do Mainstream Churches Say about Ecojustice?

A. Most mainstream churches are deeply involved in the Ecojustice movement. Many churches have developed task forces. An especially active group is the Interfaith Climate Change Network.

Q. What must we do to practice Soccer Ministry Ecojustice?

A. We must do all that we can do to preserve the environment of this planet, restore and reclaim environments that have been degraded and to maintain the integrity of the life forms and physical forms of our planet. The way we accomplish that through our Soccer Ministry Ecojustice program is to plant trees.

Q. What are our responsibilities toward people who have fewer resources than we have in Soccer Ministry Ecojustice?

A. We have the responsibility to develop means of creating meaningful lives for all those in developing and developed countries by enabling them to see the infinite resources they have within themselves. That is the mission behind the Honduras Youth Soccer Program and the Soccer Gear Donation Project.

Q. What does being an Soccer Ministry Ecojustice Christian mean?

A. It means that you adopt the three fold life:

A) stay in constant prayer and join with others in prayer

B) You read and share the Bible with others around the world who do not have access to religious literature and Bibles as freely as we American do

C) We adopt a Soccer Ministry Ecojustice lifestyle - that means we collect soccer gear for donation to the Liga Menor de Futbol Intibucana so they can plant trees. We might also donate funds for shipping soccer gear to Honduras. We might support Liga Menor tournaments, attend camps, come down and volunteer to build the Intibuca Youth Soccer Center. We might provide Spanish language bibles and youth bible literature.

Q. Is Ecojustice based on the Bible?

A. The Bible is the basis of the Ecojustice movement.
