I have now done several pregame chapels for them and developed relationships with a couple of the guys off the pitch. It's been a great journey of serving them and watching God move. The guys as a unit are growing personally, athletically, as spiritually. It's been eye-opening as many of the guys are growing in courage about where thy stand with faith and seeing it come together for many of them in their personal lives and families.
As we now have qualified for Brazil 2014 it is my hope to continue to help them grow and mature in their lives by prayer and the occasional time to encourage them in their walks with Jesus.
Pray for these men that are Christians on the team as they seek to keep Jesus first in their lives as also pray for the ones who don't know Christ that God would draw them closer to himself (John 6:44).
