A Brief Overview of Liberia

In 1822 the American Colonization Society established Liberia as a place to send black people who were formerly enslaved. Other African-Americans, who were never enslaved, chose to immigrate to Liberia as well. African-Americans gradually migrated to the colony and became known as Americo-Liberians, from whom many present day Liberians trace their ancestry. On
July 26, 1847, the Americo-Liberian settlers declared the independence of the Republic of Liberia. The name Liberia denotes "liberty", but civil war engulfed Liberia in 1989 and 1999 with peace finally returning in 2003. Liberia has a population of 3.5 million people and the national language is English. 40% of the population is Christian, 40% follow indigenous beliefs, and 20% is Muslim.

 

Fast facts:

Capital - Monrovia (population 572,000)

Currency - Liberian dollar

Life Expectancy – 49 years old

Literacy Rate - 58 percent

GDP Per Capita - $1,000

 

 

 

 

  It is a beautiful country, but the civil war that gripped the country from 1989-2003 destroyed ever fabric of society.  There are still 18,000 UN soldiers and personnel occupying the country.  The staples for life are very expensive and often in short supply.  The pump stations for cars along the roads are just four poles covered by a palm-branch roof.  Gasoline is sold from galloon jars which are poured into the vehicles using a home-made funnel.  The daily food is plantains, rice, and fish.  Most of the country relies on gas-powered generators for their electricity.  There is a shortage of public transportation, and people can wait for hours just to catch the few taxis available.

  Yet these people are not bitter towards God.  Instead they are seeking to follow Him.  It is as if God has removed the veil from their eyes.  In their need and brokenness God is meet them.    I believe that God is making Liberia an example for all of Africa and the world as He brings hope, peace, reconciliation, and joy to a broken nation.

 

Overview of Our Work:

 In September 2008, we were able to trained 23 Referees, Coaches and Sports Administrators at the Conference room of the Liberia Football Association. in October 2008 we were also able to trained 75 leaders coming from Premier Clubs, Schools, Universities, Colleges, Community Leaders, Ministry of Youth & Sports and the Liberia Football Association through our Modules 1-3 Training/Coaching program  at the Temple Outreach Schools in New-Georgia, Caldwell, where 60 Leaders were qualified for our Training of Trainers in January 2009 which brought Leaders from the above institutions across the nation to be trained as Life Coaches. 

 

 

 
 

Road 2 Africa Project November 2009

The Vision

It is the desire of Athletes in Action Liberia to empower Athletes (Elites), individuals, ministries, and churches in Liberia and around the world to fulfil the Great Commission by reaching their communities with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ through sports and to release them to train others.  

We combine sports with compassion projects to meet the physical needs of the people.  In reaching the physical needs, doors are opened to share Jesus and meet the spiritual needs as well. 

We want to work in two ways.  One focus will be to minister to local pastors, church leaders, Elites & University athletes, youth, community and government leaders, and individuals through seminars, forums, meetings, and teachings on reconciliation, Christian Community Development, Church Development, Ubabalo, and Sports Ministry and a soccer tournament.  By bringing in experts who have experience in these issues, we believe that all of Liberia will be impacted as the message is spread through radio, newspapers, and media reports.

 

The second focus will be on receiving sports team from Holland, Sierra Leone and Ghana.  The Holland team will be made up of two team leaders and eight to ten team members, and will be able to lead sports clinics in soccer .  The sports activities will be used to encourage fellow believers and share the gospel as relationships are built quickly in spite of economic and cultural barriers.  Potential opportunities include serving an orphanage of 80 children an hours drive from Monrovia, visiting local schools, and hosting sports clinics in neighbourhoods in partnership with local churches.

Strategy for 2010 & Beyond

 

There are three areas of focus in this plan:
1.        Evangelism. To bring the gospel to as many players and officials in Liberia’s top soccer leagues.
2.        Discipleship. To help these players and officials to grow in their faith and to live changed lives.
3.        Sending. To help the player and officials to see that God is sending them as missionaries on the sports field. 
After 2010 we trust God that these players will continue to have ministry wherever God sends them.  To accomplish this, we believe the following projects will help us.

 

Projects

As part of our yearly Project, we will be receiving and sending teams from our various partnering Ministries outside of Liberia. Each team will be made up of team leaders and team members, and will be able to lead sports clinics in soccer and other Sports that will be available for the project.  The sports activities will be used to encourage fellow believers to share the gospel as relationships are built quickly in spite of economic and cultural barriers.  Potential opportunities will include

 

Evangelism:

Sports and Life Conference (March 2010), High Profile Soccer team to South Africa (June 6-24, 2010) for the strengthening of the churches and spreading the gospel on the platform of Sports during the world cup. AIA/Church Soccer & Basketball Tournament and Sports Clinics and Outreach (July 24-August 11, 2010),

 (Sports & Community Development Conference serving orphanages, visiting local schools, and hosting sports clinics in neighbourhoods in partnership with local churches, Premier clubs, Universities/Colleges Sports Teams.

 (November 13-23, 2010

 

Discipleship:

 

Total Athletes Training Camps

There are lot of challenges that athletes go through in life and the sports career. This training develop the athletes not only on the sports field but as well as off the pitch where he/she will still mantain the attribute and characteristics if Christianity so that their life can serve as mentor to those that do not know the Lord.

Ubabalo Training

The average age of the youth of Liberia is 16 years. They need life-mentors. As part of our mission to raise up a new generational Leaders in Liberia through the 15 Counties of our nation, we carry on Leadership and Life Coaching/Training through our Ubabalo Soccer to Whole Life Coaching Strategy.Since soccer provides the best “language” to communicate with the Liberian youth, the training of soccer coaches into life coaches will provide the most efficient transformative impact in Liberia, and beyond. Ubabalo is a TeenGames styled strategy that aims to ride on this fever and bring soccer coaching opportunities to youth.

 

Our objective is to transform youth through whole life coaching. Aspiring young adults will be identified and trained to coach soccer skills. Ubabalo uses soccer as a microcosm of life to instil sound life values. This is the key to “paradigm shift” soccer coaching into whole life coaching. Every soccer skill is related to a value which is taught as part of the soccer training.

 

This program focuses on

1.      The untapped leadership potential of youths.

2.      Changing the behaviour and attitudes of the youth so that the effect of HIV / AIDS, corruption, ethnic/tribal strife, family struggles and poverty will be minimized.

           

We have a comprehensive curriculum that will facilitate coaches and players to develop a sound value system. The curriculum will capture every aspect of one’s being. We want to present a holistic coaching experience, both for the coach and his players.

 

Local church partnerships are at the centre of this program. We facilitate a process in which the church:

1.      Moves outside her walls and become a change agent in society.

2.      Partners with other churches to unite the body of Christ in a shared pursuit.

3.      Turns its attention to the youth to ensure the future growth of the Kingdom of God in Liberia, and beyond.

4.      Grasps the opportunity to effectively disciple the youth through the avenues that a value-based soccer program creates.

 

As the world is being treated to a spectacular festival of soccer in 2010, the dream is to see the world experience a moral regeneration through a value-based whole life coaching program and celebrate a renaissance of leadership with global impact long after the completion of 2010 FIFA World Cup™.

 

Each partnering Institution creates a multiplication effect by identifying 5 coaches and 5 teams which will give us the opportunity to train 60 Leaders into Life Coaches with 20 partnering institution from each County . They can be existing coaches or individuals who desire to be trained as coaches. The soccer teams range from 11 to 25 years of age. The coach must receive Ubabalo Module 1 training in order to be a values-based life coach. He continues to meet his team of 18 – 20 youths bi-weekly for 30 weeks. After a year the players would have gone through 60 sessions of leadership and life skills coaching, in addition to soccer coaching. The first phase of Ubabalo will be for 5 years.

 

The Ubabalo training provides cutting edge knowledge in life coaching, life coaching skills, and facilitates personal and attitudinal transformation. Further, the coach receives the life coaching curriculum which comprises a soccer coaching manual, and a leadership and life skills manual. Each soccer skill is linked with a corresponding value. The soccer skills are the avenues to the values. The values are used as avenues to Bible-based discipleship.

Ubabalo Philosophy and Values

There are 12 key values that characterize Ubabalo:

1        Integrity – All trainers should live a life of integrity since exemplary living is the strongest training method.

2        Bible-based – We believe that the Bible is sufficient in teaching us to live a life of fulfilment and significance.

3        Acknowledging the science of sport and the identity of the sports person – We never want to exploit athletes for proclamation purposes, but we want to serve them in a way that acknowledges their real needs.

4        Service – In our training we want to create servant hearts so that the world-wide-web of leaders that we develop will be of one heart and mind.

5        Experiential learning – Since experiential learning fits into the culture of sport and has also proven to be a very strong educational tool, we apply this method wherever possible.

6        Partnerships – Since the beauty and the strength of the Body of Christ is so powerful, we are always inclusive in an effort to involve all stakeholders.

7        Humility … that leads to service

8        Diversity … that leads to understanding

9        Interdependence … that leads to partnerships

10   Empowerment/envisioning … that leads to multiplication

11   Creativity … that leads to innovation

12   Integrity … that leads to trust

13   Passion … that leads to commitment

 

 
 

Sending:

Send players to churches to help reach the community.
Sending teams to South Africa for the world cup 2010 soccer outreach and to other countries to share the gospel.

  

We believe that we can not achieve this alone as the African Proverb says “If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together. We all know the fact that one horse can pull two tons while two horses can pull twenty four tons (Ecclesiastes 4:9-12). We look forward to your partnership.
