Football Ministry in Haiti
Ambassadors Football Haiti began in 2006. We started by mobilizing the nation for football ministry as a high priority, and by 2015 we had trained over 400 coaches and workers to share the Good News through football.
After 2015, we began a football camp for the children of Haiti that has grown to be a popular ministry program each year. Our ministry is directed by a Haitian leader who grew up as a player in the ministry. He and his staff currently coach players between the ages of 6 and 15 on a weekly basis and continue the tradition of training our players to love God and football.
In early 2024, we launched a project that will turn a dirt field at a local church into a state-of-the-art football facility.
OUR PARTNERS
Club Teams
We have club teams that practice and play weekly in Port-au-Prince. We are focused on coaching our players to football excellence with a focus on teaching them to be obedient to God’s word through their play and in their lives off the field.
This is done by teaching Gospel themes during our time together and creating character-building exercises in addition to football skills.
Our club also enables us to bring coaches alongside of our established coaches to learn more about how to lead a team with a faith-based focus. These volunteer coaches also have the opportunity to then be trained by Ambassadors through our TREC training course.
Football Tournaments
Unfortunately, in Haiti there are almost no organized youth tournaments for players and teams to participate in.
Due to this unfortunate situation, our National Director Lucasse and his team try and organize at least one tournament a year so their players and those from other clubs in the area can compete against each other.
These tournaments always include an evangelism element so the players and those watching can all hear about a life lived for God through salvation in Jesus Christ.
Haitian National Amputee Team
In 2010, Rich Mears and Dr. Fred Sorrels of Operation Go Quickly founded the first Haitian National Amputee Soccer Team, made up of men who lost a leg in that year’s devastating earthquake.
Lucasse, now Director of Ambassadors Football Haiti, served as head coach of the team in 2015–2016 and led them to the Amputee Copa America in Mexico. The current head coach was mentored by Lucasse and other Ambassadors Football staff.
Since then, the team has competed in every Amputee World Cup—finishing 4th in 2024! Their new field and training facility will serve as the team’s official home in Haiti.
Football Camps
Ambassadors Soccer Camps provide an opportunity for children ages 6-14 years the chance to play and compete in a fun, safe, and positive environment.
Central to camps is a strong faith element and the campers day includes time together to learn more about the Bible and what salvation in Jesus looks like.
We will be launching camps soon, after we finish building the new Ambassadors Football Training Centre!
Haiti Field Project
We have partnered with Quisqueya Chapel to turn a dirt field into a state of the art Ambassadors Football Training Centre. We’re almost fully funded and hoping to finish construction August 15, 2025!
Our Vision for the Haiti Training Centre
Community Outreach
Several times a year we hold soccer clinics and outreach events in the poorer neighborhoods in Port-au-Prince.
We typically give the participants food and then play soccer with them and close out the event with a clear Gospel presentation and invitation to know and accept Jesus as their Savior.
Playing Tours
Another form of community outreach that we have done in Haiti is playing tours. During these tours we visit orphanages and play with local teams while sharing the Gospel before and after our games.
Coaches Training
Drawing on years of experience, Ambassadors Football has developed various ways in which to train individuals and churches how to use football for ministry.
This course includes classroom and on-field training delivered by highly certified, licensed tutors, and experienced missionaries.
The main focus of the program is to train Christian coaches to influence others and in the process mentor and disciple their players in Christ.
