Thanksgiving Futsal Tourney a Success

 

The Futsal Tournament held at Whittier Area Community Church on 11/24/07 was a God honoring event as 14 different teams came together not only to play but to also fellowship and to hear testimonies. Congratulations to the Champions for each of the categories:

U13-Lemon Street Park
U18-CC Downey-TJ Cougars
Open—JC United

This time is very encouraging for the Seahorses as it is a good place for the different Sports Ministry projects to join in one event.  Some highlights were to have three of the boys that had accepted Christ in Chino a few weeks before present at the event. There were also three different teams from two churches represented.  This participation is a direct fruit of what the churches are involved with on a regular basis.  The boys that we work with regularly at Lemon Street had a team. There are many things for which we very grateful: Whittier Area Community Church and their willingness to open their gym, the different church leaders that have caught the vision of Sports Ministry, and for all those who willingly helped out and participated in this event for the glory of God!

 

SEAHORSE INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENT
January 12, 2008

A lot of good soccer with great enthusiasm was played throughout the day with twelve different teams participating in the 7th Annual Seahorse Tournament. Good sportsmanship was displayed with a Christ like attitude throughout the day.  The U13 Tournament was won by Los Angeles Christian School Eagles. TJ Cougars from Azusa won the U18 category. New Hope Family Church’s Green Angels from Buena Park won the Open Category. Another highlight was the time of sharing among teammates and opponents.  Two players, Matt Morse and Eddie Kesh had the opportunity to share about their lives and how God has touched and worked in their lives and their soccer. A big thanks to everyone that participated and we want to encourage each of you that played to keep playing for the glory and honor of God.  We look forward to more Soccer Ministry with these groups.

 

 


Fall Futsal Tournament
Saturday, November 24
Seahorse Futsal Marathon
24 hours of futsal really wore us out!

On May 4th and May 5th, 29 teams participated in the Seahorses   2nd Annual Soccer Marathon. Starting with the U18 group at 4 PM Friday and finishing up with the U16 on Saturday at 4 PM, much soccer passion was left on the Futsal Court. Testimonies were shared at the various tournaments and good sportsmanship was displayed throughout the tournament with a great competitive spirit throughout the 24 hours. 

Congratulations to the various First Place teams: U18-Max Lane (Fullerton); Church - Dunami (Evangelical Free Church New Life, Newbury Park); Men’s Open-Firestorm (West Covina); Co-Ed GSE, (La Mirada); U12-Red Lions (Compton); U16- Real Madrid (Whittier).

Another reason, other than playing soccer, in organizing a tournament like this is it gives us a chance to reconnect with Seahorse partnerships throughout LA and Orange Counties. We praise God that 16 of the 29 teams have strong connections with the Seahorse Ministry. There were definite very encouraging notes as two teams look to go to the next step in their Sports Ministry.  As God leads, we look to further enhance these and other partnerships as we do, train and deploy in Sports Ministry for the glory of God.

Seahorse Futsal Tournament - Nov 25, 2005
4 teams gathered for the 2nd Seahorse Futsal Tournament held at the Whittier Area Community Church.  It was wonderful to get out and run around right after Thanksgiving to work off all that Turkey.  Initially, this tournament was begun as a way to bring together Hispanic/Spanish speaking churches to share with them the Seahorse vision for sports ministry.  However, the Romanian Baptist Church has been not only showing up in force but has won the tournament twice!  So we have taken on an international flavor with this tournament.
