Futsal is a modified form of soccer (football) played with five players per side on a smaller, cement field. Sports can have a positive impact on youth at risk for substance abuse. Many in our area also come from dysfunctional family situations. We are looking for two young men who love to play Futsal. You can play at various skill levels. If you have futsal coaching/training skills, more doors will open. Preferred start time: January or August 2025
Join a group of young men from an unreached people group to play several times each week. Hang out late to watch European games on TV. Learn their language in-depth. Those with coaching skills may be able to train a local coach in how to lead soccer training/practices for a low-income neighbourhood. In addition, you would meet local people and build relationships, continue with language and in-depth culture learning (depending on length of trip), and come alongside a group of local coaches to plan and run a small Futsal tournament or league. People here do not speak English, however, while the rest of the city is at work and school, you will invest about four hours per day learning the local language in order to connect and communicate with local people.
Ability to play soccer. You can play at various skill levels. Having soccer coaching/training skills will be an advantage.
A willingness to wear appropriate clothing, alter diet to meet local preferences, and be flexible to the local situation are needed. Not easily distracted from the team's clear focus on the unreached people group. Being able to thrive in places where fellowships are absent: a strong relationship with God is required for this!
