Some of the leaders from the Lake Worth, Fla., Spanish Church came up with the idea of starting “Free Soccer Academy” to help families in the community. Soccer is a very common sport that is growing in this country right now. Many families and children are looking for academies where they can start learning the basics.
Levi Sanches, coach/trainer, his wife, Maira, and his three children have a good knowledge of the sport because the children went to many tournaments, and the Sanches’ were involved with the community as the children were growing up. This family decided to give time and resources to help families who love the sport and, at the same time, use the church facilities to help these families get in contact with the church. There is a group of members involved in coaching the children and helping the families. During the soccer practice, whoever wants of the adults can do exercises as well.
Every Monday night, the church patio becomes the center of evangelism to reach the children and families, just like Jesus did, spending time with people and helping with their needs. More than 25 children come every week, and more than 15 children are from families of the community.
The church hopes to make an impact in the lives of each young person, and provide a special place for them to enjoy time together with families on the church property, especially during these days when time runs so fast and families don’t have much time to spend together.
Lake Worth members pray that those little seeds being sown today will be able to be seen in the future growing in the Kingdom of God.
