Our objective to win one more soul for Jesus remains as fresh and real as ever when we first started the journey as a village based football club under the auspices of a sports discipleship ministry.
As God is for us who can be against us. There are some members who have been tempted/induced by the trappings of this world and subsequently reverted to worldly pursuits/desires and aligned with other interests/clubs who don't share in the same objectives that we have.
Whilst I'm sad to hear that they will no longer be with us on this journey we respect the choices that they have made and we continue to pray for them and love them sincerely with the love of the Lord. We bless them in Jesus name and wish them well. We hope that by the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that they will come to the knowledge of the truth in accordance with our Father's plan, purpose and will for each one of them here on earth as it is in heaven.
For the members and supporters who have remained and continue to hold fast to the vision that I shared during the course of our inaugural formation meeting last year, I salute you and commend you all for your resilience and steadfastness. God knows its been a very challenging time but there is light at the end of the tunnel and I continue to trust in the Lord for He has a better plan in store for us.
By God's grace the plans we discussed in our club meeting we held in January remain on track and I will be in contact soon with Uncle Vagi, Robin and the rest of the club management to place everything in perspective.
My prolonged absence and or silence should not be construed as a sign of the clubs lack of functionality and operationality. But rather its a sign that I'm continuing to seek the Lord's guidance, direction and agenda for the higher end objective of this football club which is to win one more soul for Jesus. That objective is woven into the the soul and existence of this club and I praise God for everyone who remains committed to this worthy cause.
Our current situation draws similar parallels with the story of Gideon and his army of 300 men in Judges Chapter 6. We must obey and trust the Lord with whatever He gives us in order to achieve an outcome that is for His glory alone.
In the story, God reduced Gideon's army from 32,000 to 300. 300 farmers who overnight became soldiers facing an enemy of 150,000 strong battle hardened warriors. A very compelling and fearsome situation that in this day and age would send even the most bravest of persons running for cover.
However this was not be, God needed to show Gideon and the people of Israel His power and might in order for them to believe that He was Jehovah The Great I AM. So if we take the lessons from Gideon's experience, we as a club and a ministry must do the best we can with whatever the Lord has been gracious enough to provide to overcome the challenges that we encounter. In this way God and not man, gets the glory for all the accomplishments attained in the most difficult of environments and situations.
The more we become dependent, obedient and trusting of God, our Father; our club and ministry will grow from to strength to strength. To God be all the glory, honor and praise.
I encourage you all to remain committed to the club and the ministry in Jesus name.
God bless you all,
Jerry B.
