Highlight #1 from the Kenya/Tanzania trip was the people we were with….

From serving with the NewSpring Church group to being together as a Northbound team … the friendships we made are timeless.

And seeing each person serving in their element, doing what they were created to do - from building to organizing, to capturing stories and cleaning teeth - everyone served with such joy!!

Watching the Northbound team film the ladies in the “dentist office” who had been cleaning teeth all week was so special. Watching the ladies welcome and love the children with such joy and compassion that they showed even when there were no cameras watching.

This trip reminded us that everyone has a purpose and sometimes a mission trip is the perfect reminder of what makes us come alive. ✨🥰

Three years. That’s how long Baldwin has been showing up for this work from here in the US, part of a team pouring into this mission long before she ever set foot on the ground.

This week, she finally got to meet the people she’s been supporting all along. 🥹
Kenya.
Tanzania.
Partners she’s prayed for and worked alongside from thousands of miles away, now standing right in front of her.

We’ve been watching her stories and ugly crying a little, not going to lie.

If you’ve supported this work for any length of time, you know exactly what she’s feeling right now.

Baldwin, we see you. Three years of faithfulness, and now this.

This one’s for you. 🙌

Go drop some love ❤️ on her in the comments. She deserves to see it.

Meet James 🏔️
He grew up in the Mwanza region of Tanzania and now calls Moshi home, the town sitting right at the base of Kilimanjaro.

James’s whole life’s work is children’s welfare. He’s lived on the campus of an orphanage, right alongside the kids, so they have the best care possible. Not visiting. Living there.

Now he’s carrying that same heart into government schools through our More Than Football curriculum, taking the leadership lessons built for the fields we construct and putting them in front of even more kids.

Notice a theme yet?

Katie. Josey. James. Different roles, same reason they get on the plane.

They love these kids 🙌

And you’re the reason they get to.

Every field, every classroom, every child who gets someone in their corner starts with you saying yes.

Tell us in the comments: what would you ask James about life at the orphanage? 👇

Meet Katie 🌍

If you’ve ever wondered who is making these trips happen, it’s her. Katie’s the one working behind the scenes on every project, every partnership, every detail that has to line up before a team ever lands on the ground.

But the second she’s there, she’s not behind anything.

She’s the first one down on the ground playing with the kids. First one drawn into a story before anyone’s even asked her to find one. Katie has this gift of connection that makes people open up, and it’s usually her and Josey chasing down the same moment together, him behind the camera, her right in the middle of it.

You’re the reason she gets to keep showing up for these kids 🙏

Tell us in the comments, what do you want Katie to capture from Kibera?

Meet Josey 📸

He’s the guy behind almost every photo and video you’ve seen from us in Africa. If it made you tear up, laugh, or stop scrolling, there’s a good chance Josey was the one who caught it.

But here’s what most people don’t see: sometimes the best moment isn’t the one he’s filming. It’s when a kid walks up, completely fascinated by his camera, and Josey stops everything to hand it over. Shows them how to hold it. Lets them take a few shots of their own.

That’s the moment that fuels him. Not the perfect shot. The connection that happens right before it.

Watch his story (pinned) to see it for yourself 🎥

What he’s most excited for you to see? The children. Their joy. The kind that doesn’t need a caption to explain it.

You’re the reason he gets to keep telling these stories 🙏

Drop a ❤️ if you’re ready to meet the rest of the team.

In a few days, you’re going to see it happen in real time 👣

Groundbreaking 🪏 on the newest soccer ⚽️ pitch in Kenya.

Visits to the hidden heroes running orphanages and schools who show up every single day, whether anyone’s watching or not.

You don’t want to miss these updates!

But before we hit the ground, get ready to meet the people about to hit it for you 👇
Four field guides.
Two countries.
One job: go where you can’t go yet, and bring back exactly what’s happening in East Africa because of supporters like you.

You’re the reason the next field gets built and the hidden heroes have a sustainable life…. They’re just the ones getting dusty for it 😅🙏

Tell us in the comments: what do you want to see from the field team while they’re out there? 👀👇👇👇

🌍 AROUND THE WORLD
📍 ZAMBIA 🇿🇲

The soccer balls are on the move!

We are grateful for Africa Development Mission Training Centre who are on the ground in Zambia creating opportunities for these children to play, connect & belong!

So far, we’ve watched hundreds of balls make their way into the hands of children in Tanzania, Zimbabwe, and now Zambia—and every stop reminds us why we started this campaign in the first place.

Because a soccer ball brings joy.

And we’re dreaming of seeing that joy reach 10 countries around the world.
❤️

3 countries down. 7 to go. ⚽️🌍

New Country unlocked! 🔓🎉

Giving soccer balls to children around the world because of YOU!

This time Zambia says THANK YOU 🇿🇲

Wherever these soccer balls go, the JOY is the same. UNREAL excitement. 🤩

These children are showing us what true gratitude looks like.

The beautiful game is sparking hope in Zambia today.

Hallelujah. ⚽️🌍

We didn’t expect this …

We knew giving children soccer balls would bring them joy.

But we didn’t expect how quickly it would build relationships.

One afternoon, Josey noticed a few children playing near his home. He joined their game, and before leaving he made them a promise:
“Tomorrow, I’ll bring you a soccer ball. Invite your friends.”

The next day, what had been a handful of children became a field full of kids.

They brought friends, formed teams, and even the youngest children showed up just to be part of it.

Watching that much joy gather around one soccer ball reminded us of something important.

A soccer ball doesn’t just start a game.

It starts a spark of hope.

It builds community.

It creates a place where children gather, friendships grow, and trusted mentors can invest in the next generation.

Thank you for investing in ⚽️
