Guatemala: Otten Prado Project

We went to a field in a lower middle class community named otten prado and prepared it for a soccer tournament. Soccer to the Guatemalan people is like pot luck to the American people. It is a community thing. Global Soccer Ministries uses the tool of soccer to reach communities with the Gospel. The goal is to establish soccer camps in communities and provide quality soccer coaching, mentoring, and discipleship to children who would otherwise have access to none of the above.

We used a machete on the grass, cleaned up the garbage on the field, painted lines fort the game, and then divided into two groups to cheer the children on. Between games we handed out water and watermelon for refreshments.
