Rusty Bryant - President/General Manager"I first felt God calling me into full-time Christian service when I was 14 years old. Since that day, I have tried my best to be in His will at all times. While I always knew that I would be serving Him in some capacity, I never dreamed that God would allow me to impact lives through sports. However, God has placed a passion in my heart to share the Good News of Jesus Christ using soccer as a platform. God is currently opening doors to share the Gospel all over the world through the use of sports. I am extremely honored that God has chosen me to participate in an area of evangelism that is making a tremendous difference for the Kingdom of God."

"I have been involved with Brilla Soccer Ministries as a player since 1996 and have always felt it ministers in ways that many cannot. This ministry, using soccer as a means of sharing Jesus Christ, is such a powerful tool here in the United States and all over the world.
