We are especially grateful for the strong partnership with parents, whose support makes it possible to develop the talents of our children. Together, we are laying a foundation for future leaders both on and off the field.

During the event, we also took time to recognize the best performer at the national level who has now advanced to secondary school. This recognition was a way to encourage the rest of our players to keep working hard, both in their studies and in football.

Teamwork Lessons for Marriage

Through a series of engaging and playful activities, couples explored the core values of teamwork as they apply to family life:

Sharing a Common Vision – Learning the importance of setting shared goals and walking in the same direction as a couple.

Knowing the Strength of Your Partner – Appreciating each other’s unique gifts and contributions.

Practicing Gentle Communication – Developing habits of listening with empathy and speaking with kindness.

Carrying Each Other’s Burdens – Supporting one another through challenges and difficulties.

Disagreeing with Respect – Handling Conflicts with Patience and Honor Rather than Division.

Celebrating Each Other’s Wins – Rejoicing in successes, both big and small, as a team.

Transforming Coaches, Transforming Communities

Upon completing the training, the 33 coaches will return to their local churches and communities to work with over 500 children across 11 different communities in Rwanda. These coaches are not only being equipped with technical knowledge but also being empowered to lead with integrity, faith, and vision.

The vision behind this program is clear: to see the lives of both players and coaches transformed through the game of football. The mission is to glorify God with our talents and become positive influencers in the world of sport. By rooting football development in Christian values, Ambassadors Group Rwanda Ltd and FERWAFA are building a framework where coaching is about more than tactics and drills; it is about shaping lives.

Football and Discipleship: Releasing Children from Poverty in Jesus’ Name

At the heart of this initiative lies the powerful motto of Compassion International: “Releasing children from poverty in Jesus’ name.” Poverty is not only a lack of material resources but also the absence of opportunities, hope, and guidance. By combining Compassion’s holistic approach with football, children are given a chance to grow in every dimension of life.

Through sport development, children experience physical growth as they build strength, discipline, and healthy habits. At the same time, the program nurtures spiritual development by grounding both coaches and players in biblical values, pointing them toward Jesus Christ as the true source of transformation. Alongside this, football provides a safe space for emotional development, where children learn teamwork, resilience, self-confidence, and the joy of belonging to a caring community.
