Sports and Evangelism {Malawi Mondays}


Welcome to Esther's House newest program!

Let me introduce you to our football (aka soccer) team........



Our spiritual directors, Pastor Stanley and Tadala had a vision for this new program. 

Football is HUGE here and although you may not be able to get someone to come to church with you, everyone will come out to the football field on Sunday to watch a game.

So our kids began to practice under Coach Bruce (also girls' house dad).

The boys are getting in shape, perfecting their foot work and learning how to encourage one another.
It is really fun to watch this camaraderie forming between them all.

 But, this program isn't all about physical fitness. 
Our main goal is for them to be spiritually fit too.
The boys are also learning how to share the Gospel with their peers. 
At half time of each game, one of our boys shares the Good News with both teams.

And our pastors follow up with teaching.

The boys have done such a great job sharing with confidence and passion!

The boys are boasting a 2-0 record currently, and although winning is pretty fun, we are super pumped that 2 of our boys have stood up with confidence and shared what Jesus has done in their lives. Couldn't be more proud!
