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!

In fellowship and love,

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.

HOLIDAY OPENER!

This Saturday, April 25th, our boys at Urantic Junior's Football Academy take the field again against Ncwano Cell Academy — after a thrilling 5-0 victory in our last meeting!

Beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ Michael,

In the warm embrace of our Universal Father’s love, I come before you with a heart overflowing with gratitude and joy. I am Ivan Namanya, founder of the Urantia Infants Football Academy here in Uganda. Through the simple, beautiful game of soccer, we are witnessing miracles of Light and Life unfolding among our precious children—little souls emerging from the shadows of poverty, now shining with smiles that light up the heavens themselves.

Picture this, dear family: young boys and girls from humble households where hope once felt distant, where daily struggles left their eyes dim and their laughter silent. Many had forgotten how to dream. Yet, on our dusty pitch, something divine happens. A ball rolls, a foot connects, and suddenly—SMILES! Real, radiant, unstoppable smiles. Enthusiasm returns like a fresh dawn. Love for the game reignites their spirits. They run, they cheer, they high-five one another with the pure brotherhood that Christ Michael so perfectly lived and taught.
Through soccer, we are not just coaching feet—we are nurturing souls. We teach them, as the Urantia Book reveals so profoundly, the sacred duty of developing their God-given talents. Remember the Master’s parable of the talents (176:3): the faithful servants multiplied what was entrusted to them and entered into the joy of their lord, while the fearful one who buried his gift lost even that. Our little “angels from God” (as I lovingly call them) are learning to multiply their gifts—speed, teamwork, resilience, creativity—not for glory alone, but as living service to the Father. Every kick becomes a prayer of gratitude. Every goal celebrates the growth of grace, knowledge, and unselfish love for their fellows.
We bring them closer to Our Father God in the most natural way: by showing them that play itself is holy. Just as Jesus, in his youth, led his playmates into new games and turned even recreation into thoughtful channels of growth (124:1-2), we use the pitch to reveal the Father’s affectionate attitude toward all His children. We speak of the kingdom as “progressive righteousness and increasing joy in the perfecting service of my Father who is in heaven.” We feed their bodies with balls, boots, scholastic materials, clothing, and meals—but more importantly, we feed their hearts with patience, hope, comfort, and the assurance that every kid deserves to play and to thrive beneath even the poorest roof.

I have seen tears turn to laughter. I have watched a shy boy who once hid in fear now lead his team with confidence, eyes sparkling as he declares, “We are the next generation!” Unity is our power. Strategy, spirit, and love are our weapons against darkness. Through this academy, we are building the future leaders who will one day carry the light of Michael’s teachings across Uganda and beyond—young men and women who know that true leadership “is not about ruling, but about serving… inspiring loyalty and devotion through love and wisdom.”
Oh, my dear spiritual family, if you could stand with me on the sidelines and see these smiles… the way their faces glow when they score, when they pray together before training, when they hug and say, “Thank you, Coach, for bringing us back to life!”—you would feel the very presence of the Thought Adjusters dancing in their young hearts. This is Light conquering shadow. This is Life blooming where despair once grew. This is the Father’s love made visible through a soccer ball.

I humbly invite each of you—my brothers and sisters in Christ Michael—to rejoice with us, to pray for these children, to share this testimony far and wide, and if the spirit moves you, to walk alongside us in any way your heart suggests. Together, let us continue shaping these tender souls, comforting them, blessing them, and helping even one helpless child… for in doing so, we extend our own eternal lives in the service of the Supreme.
May the peace of our Sovereign Michael, the joy of the Universal Father, and the guiding light of the Spirit of Truth rest upon you all.

With deepest love and a heart full of smiles,
Ivan Namanya
Founder, #UrantiaInfantsFootballAcademy ⚽❤️
“Every kid deserves to play… and to know the Father’s love.”

Blessed New Month Ahead. ♥️

*A Blessed New Month to Our Brothers and Sisters in Christ Michael!

"When my vibration is right, I stop chasing. I stop forcing. I stop manipulating and worrying and trying to make everything happen by effort. I let go of struggle, not because I've given up, but because I finally understood the higher game.
I have become the person who radiates certainty, who walks in peace, who holds the vision with calm strength. And the moment I hold that state long enough, the form begins to take shape.

I am not fooled by delay. Form is always the last thing to arrive. The invisible shifts first. The roots grow before the flower appears. The soul aligns before the situation changes. My work is to hold the vibration not just in prayer but throughout my entire day. To speak as one who believes, to think as one who trusts, to walk as one who knows.
Because that kind of person is not hoping for manifestation. That person is expecting it and expectation held without contradiction becomes the doorway through which miracles pass.
So, I hold the vibration even when nothing around me has changed."

A good coach will show you the scar beneath his beautiful coat' will not only instruct, will show how to fix it! wishing whoever was able going back to school, a successful term, and we others who failed to make it due to some difficulties of school fees, never to lose hope, keep calm, stay focused, pray, because we're still young and there's always an opportunity. It's never too late to be what you might have been!

Truth be told, "No one has teeth at birth!" And it's never too late to dream a new dream.
Towards Light and Life.

Ivan Namanya.

As we bid farewell to 2025, as founder of Urantia Infants Football Academy and team, reflect on a year filled with growth, challenges, and kindness. Our academy has seen young talents blossom, teamwork flourish, and community bonds strengthen. The principles of The Urantia Book resonate with our mission: unity, progress, and nurturing potential.

Inspired by Urantia's teachings on human progress (Paper 71), we've focused on holistic development – not just football skills, but character and values. As we enter 2026, we look forward to more victories on and off the pitch. May the coming year bring prosperity, unity, and abundant life.

Wishing everyone a blessed and successful 2026!

Brothers and sisters in Christ.

As we reflect our recent football match against katojo c kids on 3rd-Dec-2025 yesterday, I'm reminded of the power of perseverance and growth. We drew 2:2, and while it may not have been the win we hoped for, it was a valuable lesson in teamwork, humility and beauty of life's balance.

In the words of The Urantia Book "The world is a living thing, and all things are alive with the of God"(paper 1:1.1).Every experience, every match, every breathe, every moment is a step towards harmony and growth.

Let's cherish the draw not as a tie, but as a reminder that life is a journey of growth and every step, every breathe, every moment is a chance to learn, to grow and to love.

May our experiences inspire and uplift each other as we navigate the beautiful journey of life.
