WHATS HAPPENING WITH F.C. UNITED

On Saturday September 27 we successfully ran our 5th 4 vs 4 soccer tournament. Its such a cool feeling to see how this ministry is starting to take form and shape and the excitement and feedback that we are getting from the teams that are participating in the tournaments. I yet again was reminded of the amazing opportunity that we get to build relationships with people through soccer. Photo Gallery

Once again we were faced with some challenges when it came to getting teams to actually commit and come to our tournaments. Our goal has always been to have 16 teams participate in each tournament. The day before our tournament we had 16 teams that were confirmed and excited to play. By that evening we were down to 10 teams and then the day of the tournament only 9 teams showed up. Culturally everyone says yes when asked if they want to participate because its easier to make up an excuse later and avoid being directly negative from the beginning. Although this is very stressful and ultimately very frustrating, I know that God has this ministry in his hands and we will only continue to grow and get better at it.
