Global Soccer Ministries

 
No this is not an advertisement for GQ. This is John Banta of Global Soccer Ministries. John and his wife Amy have three kids, Hope, Luke, and Titus. They have been in Guatemala for about 18 months working with the Global Soccer ministries (GSM).

GSM provides poorer communities with quality soccer coaching, mentoring, and discipleship. They work in the existing community soccer fields, fix them up, clean them up, and then outreach to the community by providing the soccer programs.

The coaches of GSM provide positive adult relationships for children by pretty much being a dad to them. They also have Bible lessons during each practice to teach the children about Christ.

GSM also hosts tournaments between the different community soccer teams.

This is a great ministry in an area where it is much needed. To learn more about Global Soccer ministries [click here]
