Ambassadors Football Peru traveled north of Lima to Piura, an area that was devastated with flooding in February of 2017. They met with over a dozen churches who are interested in football ministry plus another church who has already started a ministry called the Academia Deportiva Jesus. Closer to Lima, they ran a football tournament for a school in Manchay, Peru that now wants to run an on-going football program. At the same time a church down the road began discussions with the leaders about starting a football ministry there. The plan and the hope is that the school and church can now work together to impact the kids and their families as we train the teachers and church members to run an on-going football ministry in that community.
