UNSPEAKABLE IMPACT:The experience in men's soccer will be an integrated part of a larger experience and will have an unspeakable impact on each player's life with regard to the very high bar that will be the standard of excellence that player will strive for, the relationships that player will develop within the the program, and the leadership lessons that player will exercise and learn."

“Today millions of Zambians will welcome the victorious national
soccer team from Gabon. Together, the entire nation will offer a resounding and
a united salute to the national flag as we proudly sing “Stand and sing of
Zambia…” under which the 24 citizens played in the African Cup of Nations-and
won the AFCON Cup.
This generation of champions has turned around the fortunes of
Zambia. We are not victims, underdogs or losers. We are victors, heroes and
winners. This team has earned Zambia respect in the soccer world and has caused
many to take a second look at their world map. These ordinary but courageous
and spirited young men have given us a legacy which future generations will be
inspired to emulate. At a time when too many of our institutions run by
Zambians have let us down, the winning of the African Cup is a testimony that
when people are daring, self-sacrificing and work as a team they do achieve
much. We must also thank the coach and the board of Football Association of
Zambia for helping the team work together to stay focused on the mission
at hand.
As I consider this achievement, I am reminded of the Zambian
national team that perished on the shores of Libreville where the Africa Cup
final took place. It is easy for those who do not know Christ to credit this
victory to the spirits of our compatriots who died in that fateful plane crash
in 1993. To do this is to miss a wonderful opportunity to learn lessons of
endurance, perseverance, discipline and hard work from this humble team.
John Wesley said, “Give me a hundred men who fear nothing but
sin, and desire nothing but God, and I will shake the world. I care not a straw
whether they be clergymen or laymen; and such alone will overthrow the kingdom
of Satan and build up the kingdom of God on earth.” As Wesley states God work
is not for those who are wise according to worldly standard but those who are
committed to His purpose and devoted to His work. Co-workers, what we have here
at Jubilee Centre is a team of men and women who are coming alongside church
leaders encouraging them to yearn for communities, cities and nation that has
foundations, whose designer and builder is God (Hebrews 11:13). Our success is
not going to come because of our wisdom but because of God’s transforming us
into his people in spite of our common pedigree. Our status excludes us all
boasting in heritage, achievement, or membership in a particular church.
As we celebrate this victory let us put into practice the
lessons we have learned from it. They were underdogs, but they worked hard and
it paid off. Paul tells us, “But God chose the foolish things of
this world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame
the strong. He chose the lowly things of the world and the despised things-and
the things that are not-to nullify the things that are, so that no one may
boast before him… “Therefore, as it is written: Let him who boasts boast in the
Lord.” (1Cor.1:27-31). May this victory inspire us to grow in our faithfulness
to Jesus.”

Coach Huber has had a ministry connected to Zambia for at least the last 10 years (His book detailing that ministry is a must read!). For
the last 2 years, Coach Huber has taken a group of CU students/soccer players to Zambia
to serve along side Pastor Temfwe and the staff of Jubilee Center. I have had
the privilege to witness the staff of Jubilee Center "Unspeakable Impact" lived out. Our Night of Nets
event is an obvious opportunity that enables us, as a program, to have an impact not only on the lives of our brothers and sisters in Zambia but also on each player's life. I
have seen lives transformed by this event. Earlier, I posted the reflections of current and former members of the soccer program that traveled to Zambia this past May. Go back and really read those again. Look at the kind of impact this has had on a group of seniors that helped initiate NON. You have the opportunity to be part of something transformational. "Our success is not going to come because of our wisdom but because God's transforming us into his people in spite of our common pedigree."
