All Nations Soccer

What is the core mission of your organization? All Nations Soccer uses soccer to restore, unify and empower people of all nations to thrive in relationship with Jesus and each other.

How do you measure impact and success in your programs? We assure we are reaching a growing community of players from all nations who play with us year after year, forming life changing relationships, connecting a growing amount of local churches who repeatedly serve with us, training up more people to share the Gospel and minister on teams and providing Gospel messages and ministry resources at every game or activity.

What are your biggest fundraising or outreach challenges? Our biggest fundraising challenges are not currently having a fundraising event planner or grant writer and connecting with new churches, businesses and individuals who want to support local missions through recurring donations.
Our biggest outreach challenges are having enough staff/volunteers to run additional programs and serve all demand and opportunities for soccer ministry.

How do you build long-term relationships with donors and supporters? We seek to involve people in the ministry to experience what we do, we try to understand ways they personally connect with the ministry and show how they can directly impact the reach we’re having and we stay in touch frequently with meetings and ministry updates.

Can you share a story that shows your mission in action? A refugee girl from Cuba found our women’s league and we helped her join a team for free. She invited her boyfriend from Nicaragua to play in the men’s league and we found him a team to join with a half off scholarship. Their son started to come to our free youth clinic. Every game day they all played soccer, heard the Gospel and interacted with church volunteers. They started to go to church and reading the Bible and decided they should get married. Now the girl serves as a captain of one of our women’s teams and is helping lead other ladies to Jesus and their family continues to grow and form meaningful relationships in the league.

What keeps you motivated in this work? God’s heart and commission to make disciples of all nations and seeing people’s lives transformed who otherwise may not be reached by other ministry efforts.
