Dear Brothers and Sisters of the Spiritual Family,

I come before you with a gentle vision that has touched my heart — one that blends the beauty of our earthly home with the higher ideals of brotherhood, growth, and joyful service that the Urantia Book so beautifully illuminates.

Behold this simple yet inspiring design for the Urantia Juniors Football Academy in the Ibanda District, Uganda.
In the teachings we cherish, we are reminded that the kingdom of heaven is built through such small, sincere efforts — through the training of youth in body, mind, and spirit. Football, like life, teaches cooperation over competition, resilience in the face of challenge, and the joy of playing together as one family. This academy is not merely about sport; it is a living parable of the Supreme — where mortal children learn to reflect divine qualities: fairness, courage, friendship, and service.
My brothers and sisters, this is not fantasy. It is a sincere hope and a prayerful ideal we can help bring into reality. Imagine young souls in Uganda — and beyond — growing strong in both physical vitality and spiritual awareness, wearing these colors as a quiet testimony to the dawning age of light and life.
Let us hold this vision together in our hearts. May the Adjusters within each of these children, and within us, guide this seed toward full flowering. If it resonates with you, perhaps we can explore ways to support such initiatives — through prayer, encouragement, sharing, or even practical steps — so that more children may experience the beauty of purposeful play and spiritual family.

With warm affection and shared hope,
In the spirit of Michael’s love and the Eternal Father’s watchcare,

A New Month, A New Step in Brotherhood,

As we step into July, let us pause and give thanks for the journey that has brought Urantia Juniors this far. Every ball we've kicked, every match we've fought, every lesson we've shared on and off the pitch has been part of something greater than football — it has been the slow, patient building of brotherhood.
The Urantia Papers remind us that all of us — every boy on this team, every coach, every parent watching from the sidelines — are children of the same loving Father. We are not just teammates by chance; we are brothers by divine design. When we pass the ball to one another, we are practicing something sacred: trust, selflessness, and unity. When we lift a struggling teammate off the ground, we are living the truth that no one walks this path alone.

This month, let us unlock a deeper brotherhood. Let us play not for ourselves, but for each other. Let us celebrate our teammate's goal as loudly as our own. Let us encourage the boy who's still learning to trap the ball, the way we'd want to be encouraged if we were in his shoes.
Football will fade with the final whistle, but the character we build — the kindness, the loyalty, the love for one another — that will carry into every corner of our lives.
Here's to a July filled with growth, unity, and the quiet joy of brothers walking together.

— Urantia Juniors Football Academy

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
