Dear Brothers and Sisters, God has done it again!
This evening, 2nd May.2026. our Urantia Junior's Football Academy completed its second game — a tough battle, yet we held firm and drew 1:1 full time against katojo cell Academy. But beyond the result, what truly filled my heart with gratitude was this: the community turn up, not one child suffered a serious injury, and the discipline displayed by both teams was a sight to behold.

The Urantia Book reminds us that the Father's love is not distant — it lives and breathes in the small, ordinary moments of life. Tonight, I saw it on a football pitch, in the faces of young souls learning courage, restraint, and grace under pressure.
These children do not yet fully understand how tenderly they are watched over. But we do — and that is reason enough to rejoice.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support for this little academy. We press on, trusting the Father's guiding hand every step of the way. Ivan.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Greetings in the Father's love!

Yesterday, our Urantia Junior's Football Academy undertook the awaited trek for a tough friendly match against Ncwano Cell Academy. Despite the challenging road and traveling with no football, the boys showed remarkable courage, unity, and determination. We are grateful to the Father that we emerged victorious with a 2-1 win!
Fatigue from the journey and power issues kept me from sharing this good news with you immediately — please forgive the delay.

In the spirit of the Urantia teachings, we are reminded that true character grows through faithful effort in the face of limitations, and that the joys of achievement are greatly enhanced when shared in loving brotherhood. Watching these young souls work together as one, even in scarcity, filled our hearts with hope and gratitude. It is through such experiences that we help nurture not only footballers, but young minds growing in faith, resilience, and the higher values of service and unity.
Thank you all for your prayers and continued support. Let us keep holding these boys in the light as we journey together. So sad we have no football to use in training at the moment!

Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Grace and peace to you all from our heavenly Father, whose loving plan embraces every one of us in this great adventure of Life and Light on Urantia.

As we prepare and train together for the midweek game ahead, I am reminded of the profound teachings revealed in The Urantia Book. Our Creator has entrusted each of us with unique talents — not to be buried in fear or idleness, but to be invested boldly for growth, for service, and for the glory of the Father.

Jesus himself shared the parable of the talents: To one servant five talents were given, to another two, and to another one — each according to their ability. The faithful ones traded and multiplied what was entrusted to them, hearing those joyous words: “Well done, good and faithful servant… enter into the joy of your lord.” But the fearful one who hid his talent was called slothful, for the Master expects us to grow what we have been given. “To everyone who has, more shall be given… You cannot stand still in the affairs of the eternal kingdom.”

My dear young brothers and sisters of Urantia Junior's Football Academy — your speed, your skill, your strength, your teamwork, and even your joy on the field are talents from the Father. Football is more than a game. It is a living classroom where we develop courage, discipline, understanding, and the spirit of cooperation. It is purposeful play — a wholesome diversion that refreshes the mind, strengthens the body, and prepares the soul for higher service.

In the universe, there is always time for rest and spirit play. The journey to Paradise includes joyful activity, not endless toil. Through training and competition, we learn to give our best, to lift one another up, to turn individual gifts into collective victory, and to manifest the fruits of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, and self-control.

Let every pass, every tackle, every run, and every cheer be an act of worship through action — an offering of our talents back to the One who gave them. Play not merely to win earthly matches, but to grow in character, to build unbreakable bonds of brotherhood, and to shine as lights in a world that needs hope, unity, and fearless faith.
As your coach and fellow traveler on this spiritual path, I urge you:
Train with diligence.
Play with joy and courage.
Serve one another on and off the pitch.
Remember that true victory is measured not only by the score, but by how faithfully we multiply the talents entrusted to us.

Let us go into this midweek game with hearts united in prayer and bodies ready for the battle. May the Spirit of Truth guide our steps, and may the Father’s love flow through every effort we make.
Carry on faithfully, my beloved family in Christ. The universe is watching, and greater adventures — and greater responsibilities — await those who prove trustworthy with what they have been given today.
In the joy of service and the strength of brotherhood,

Coach and spiritual Guide,
Ivan Namanya.
