Two years ago, we decided to create a soccer ministry in Cap-Haitien, Haiti, and a few weeks ago we were able to visit and see the amazing work that God is doing...
Haiti is the most populous nation in the Caribbean, home to approximately 12 million people. While it is one of the most beautiful places in the world, it has also been plagued by gang warfare, food insecurity, displacement, and economic challenges, leaving many people to flee the capital and take refuge in Cap-Haitien, the second largest city in the country.
Our soccer ministry in Cap-Haitien currently employs a local staff of 9 that serve 86 players, ages 12-17, three days per week. The soccer ministry feeds players, shares the Gospel, and creates real playing opportunities through the club. This past year, multiple players were selected to compete or train with the Haitian Youth National Teams, and one competed at the U17 World Cup.
In our recent visit, we had the privilege of delivering uniforms from our Gear for Good campaign, encouraging the staff for the upcoming season, and hosting two camps in the community. During the camps, we saw God move in the hearts of the players, resulting in nine of them making a first-time decision to follow Jesus.
It was also amazing to bring former Haitian National Team Player and current Impact City FC coach, Jamil Jean Jacques, and see him encourage the next generation of Haitian players in God and in the game!
