The Ubabalo soccer and life skills audio engagement pilot program was a huge success! 300 Audibibles™ were loaded with Scripture and Ubabalo life skills training materials were used by 36 coaches with their soccer teams in 15 African nations.

Here is some of the feedback from the Pilot Program
- It led to personal in-depth growth of the coaches and players understanding of Scripture
- Players found answers to their personal challenges when listening to the Word of God
- It gave the coaches the opportunity to memorize Scripture
- It led to noticeable character change of not only the players, but even within some other people who had the opportunity to listen in groups
- Petty theft within the community has decreased
- Community leaders have seen a return of respect and care for elder people by the youth listening in the various groups
- The trainers reported that Life Coaching programs have increased. In one instance it has led to the multiplication of the coaching program in 12 new communities which involves 15 different churches
You can be part of this life changing initiative in Africa. US$25 or R200 supplies a life coach with the audio Scripture tool for training 20 young soccer players in the ways of God. The ultimate goal is to empower every soccer player with Biblically based life skills and give them a love for the Word of God.
Ubabalo employs a ripple effect strategy that begins with equipping 3000 life coaches, expanding to 75,000 coaches over a few years, culminating in training 1.5 million dynamic young leaders who will in turn impact their families, communities, and nations. The ripple effect of each contribution can impact whole communities, even generations.
