A long community project fulfillment in the making, Francis Chivuta made a request this past May. Dr. Chip Johnston, a friend of Francis’ who makes frequent discipleship and teaching trips to Zambia, offered to carry out soccer gear on his next trip, met with me in early June. And just a week ago, Francis sent the pictures and video (below) of the team receiving the gear and expressing their thanks.

Greetings Rev Brad,

On behalf of Unathi Sports Academy in Lusaka, Zambia and indeed on my behalf, I would like to express my deepest and most heartfelt gratitude to you Rev. Brad and the GSCA for your incredible support and sponsorship of sports gears that came through Dr Chip Johnston from US.

Your generosity is much more than financial support, it is an investment in the dreams, talents, discipline, and future of young people of Zambia. Through your sponsorship, you have given our athletes an opportunity to pursue their passion for sport, develop their God-given abilities, and believe that their dreams are possible. My prayer and desire is to grow and maintain a health relationship with you and the GSCA.

At Unathi Sports Academy, we believe that sport is a powerful tool for transforming lives and a means of sharing the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Your contribution will help us create an environment where young athletes can grow not only as sportsmen and sportswomen, but also as responsible, disciplined, confident, purpose-driven individuals and disciples of Christ.

Thank you for believing in Unathi Sports Academy. Thank you for believing in our young athletes. Thank you for standing with us in this important mission.

Your kindness has touched many lives who have seen your gifts, and we do not take your support for granted. We pray that God continues to bless you and GSCA abundantly, strengthen you, and reward you for the difference you are making in the lives of these young people.

As the Academy Director, I am truly grateful to call you a partner in this journey. Your support today is helping to build the champions of tomorrow. I look forward to a continued partnership with you and GSCA.

With profound appreciation and gratitude,

Francis Chivuta – 
Academy Director
Unathi Sports Academy
Lusaka, Zambia
