Connect Your Team, Association or League With Soccer Action For A Green World | |
|
The founder of Soccer for Life, Inc., is also the founder of an online ministry being developed called the Sharers of Jesus Christ the Compassionate. We are developing a group called the Disciples of Compassion who will be actively attempting to live the giving life Jesus lived. Jesus passed through his short lifetime giving to others. He fed 5000. We can feed 100, 000. Jesus said that the things He did we can do. And even greater things. That is our challenge. Jesus has laid down the gauntlet. The truth is that we have more opportunities to do great things than Jesus did. Jesus changed the world through his compassion which is what led to our world today. Because Jesus lived and gave our lives are rich and now:
1. We have Bibles and the word of God easily accessible day and night
2. We can communicate with millions of people at the same time through the Internet
3. We can multiply our messages by translating it into many languages
4. We can illustrate it through drawing and pictures to millions who cannot read
5. We can make cassette tapes and have people duplicate it and share it with their families and communities
6. We who live in developed countries have the resources to travel to developing countries and share with those Jesus commanded us to share with.
7. We have access to online resources that people with whom Jesus talked directly could never have imagined
8. We have new methods of creating communities such as prayer chains, yahoo groups. Instant messaging, chat rooms, live forums, teleconferencing, high speed internet, wireless and other means of rapid and instant communication
9. We have the educational background to understand that many of the commands of the Bible could not have been accomplished then. Because we have so much wealth we can create programs such as giving circles to carry on our work as Disciples of Compassion
10. We can learn through the Sharers of Jesus Christ the Compassionate methods of sharing our wealth with those less fortunate
11. We who live in developed countries like the USA, Canada, Australia, Asia and Europe can collect the unwanted and discarded surplus of our lives and share them with the millions in developing countries who do not have enough
12. Satellites ring the earth bouncing the messages about Jesus Christ worldwide.
We are truly blessed. WE HAVE POWER!
STEP 1 — PRAY ABOUT THE GIVING MISSION AS SPOKEN OF BY JESUS
What is your church's Giving Mission? What does Jesus lead your church to do? There is so much need. Just as there was in the lifetime of Jesus. The only way to know if giving to Soccer for Life is right for your church is to pray. Pray about whether giving to Soccer for Life is appropriate for your church. Will it help your church understand more about mission in this country? Pray that God will reveal ways your church can experience mission through Soccer for Life or through other Giving Mission
Pray for clarity about the activity you choose for your Giving Mission What activity is best for your church to help emulate the life of Jesus?
Study the Life of Jesus. What does Jesus do with his life? Who did He share with? He loved children. Soccer for Life is a Giving Mission for children. We are in the process of developing a list of verses from the New Testament about the Giving Mission of Jesus.
STEP 2 — CONSULT WITH YOUR CHURCH LEADERS
Again Jesus shows us the way. We need leadership. Jesus was obedient to this parents. Our church leaders are given to us to help us guide our lives. When the Apostle Paul created the church he placed us in the fellowship of our brothers and sisters who followed Jesus. He gave us the model for how we work together as well as how we follow the leaders of our church.
Therefore when you think about your Giving Mission, you are going to need to consult with your pastor as well as others who coordinate your mission to determine if the soccer ministry serves your congregation's goals.
How will you go about your Soccer Ministry? How will you collect the needed items? Or perhaps you will choose some church activities to raise funds for the shipping fund. Will you hold a dinner? A Walkathon? A field day? A long term project such as bake sales, quilt making, designated collections. Only you in coordination with your church leadership can decide.
STEP 3 — DECIDE HOW YOU WILL FULFILL YOUR SOCCER FOR LIFE GIVING MISSION
Once you decide to make Soccer for Life your Giving Mission you can the ways you can support this project. There are several ways to give the Cup of Hope:
A. Hold a collection drive for soccer and sports gear (Balls, nets, shoes, cleats, uniforms, training equipment, goals, whistles, net bags, air pumps, sports bags, books, videos, CDs, publications, sports medicine, simple things like bandaids and other medical supplies,)
B. Hold one or more Fundraising activities

Will you share your Cup Of Hope with these poor children in the mountains of Intibuca? Jesus has brought us so much good. Our lives are so rich. We have so much more than they. Jesus showed us the way. Give to the Poor. Provide clothing for those who have non. Share our wealth.
There are members in your church, club or group that have soccer and sports gear in their closets, garages and basements. They don't know about our work in Honduras and how it is helping the poor children of Intibuca get what they need to play. You are the key to sharing the Soccer For Life Mission with them. Help us collect soccer gear and promote the Honduras Youth Soccer Project. You can stop the waste of used soccer gear in your community. You can stimulate companies and groups to donate.

Setting Up the Intibuca Youth Soccer Center
Soccer For Life is planning to set up the Intibuca Youth Soccer Center for our teams we will be developing. Because of the fact that many of our Youth-At-Risk have not yet learned the social manners of those in mainstream youth leagues and soccer clubs, we feel that these youths should play among themselves until they gain better social skills.
We will be teaching soccer skills, social skills and character skills such as teamwork, dealing with anger and self control. We will have Bible lessons and invite pastors from all the churches in Intibuca to participate in our services.

If you would like us to benefit from your will, the following is a suggested wording: I bequeath the sum of ....... to Soccer For Life, Inc for any one of the charitable activities under the care of Soccer For Life." ... and instruct your financial executor to contact:
