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

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.

"We're thrilled to share the news of our today's victory, *Urantia Infants Football Academy* triumphing over Ncwano cell Academy with score of 5:1 in a thrilling friendly match on the road! This win is a testament to the power of teamwork, dedication and divine guidance.

As we reflect on the teachings of The Urantia Book, we're reminded that the Father in heaven is not a space to potency, but rather a spirit presence (paper1:1.1) we believe that our time spirit, unity and strategy were the keys to success.

The Urantia book teaches us that every individual has a devine spark within, and it's our responsibility to nurture and guide it. By being a positive influence in these kids' lives, I believe we can help them and avoid the pitfalls of peer pressure, substance abuse and other destructive behaviors that can harm their well being.

Being guided with wisdom of the Urantia Book, which says 'Play is the supreme technique of childhood learning' (paper 71:7.6) As holidays approach, I've been encouraging them to stay focused on their goals, prioritize their education and surround themselves with positive influences. And most importantly, I've been reminding them that they're not alone - they have a support system, and more importantly, they have their own inner strength and resilience..

Leadership is about uplifting and advancing others. 134:4.7
Leaders should demonstrate love and compassion, prioritizing
the well being of those they serve. Helping others can contribute
to our own personal growth and spiritual development.

If I can not do great things, I can do small things in a great way;
it's never too late to be what you might have been. Emphasis on grooming,
shaping the young into God fearing and prepare for their destiny.

Patience and courage is power, I trust the process; because the man
on top of the mountain dint fall there. with or without the soccer needs
like balls, jersey and water during games and training; I still believe we're
reaching there. The hurting part of it is of some young players who are unable
to go to school due to lack of fee's,I feel pity and empathy. Though some other kid's
parents are able. That's why the turn up is few, we're about 39 kids in number (under 18years). But all in vein, I believe
There's always light at the end of the tunnel.

I'm ready to be guided, share with me your opinions; because
even the wise can be taught wisdom.

"The kingdom of heaven is not a material kingdom; it's not of this world
It's a spiritual brotherhood of believing sons of the heavenly father. 130:4.6"

Achieving spiritual unity and cooperation with others can help lost hope souls
to overcome struggles and archive success. I believe, struggle is an enherent
part of human experience, success is not just a material gain but also about
spiritual growth, peace and harmony.
