"When I was six years old, my mom saw in our church newsletter that Brilla was having a soccer camp during that summer.She asked me if I wanted to go and I said ’yes.’I thought that it sounded like a fun thing to do in the summer, so I went to my first camp.At the time I didn’t know anything about soccer and I had never played soccer.
"Little did I know the impact Brilla would have on my life!I made my profession of faith in Jesus during my third Brilla camp and I went on to attend a total of six camps.Brilla provides a wonderful and comfortable environment for kids by not only teaching them soccer skills, but also teaching them about the Word of God.This is something I realized I would love to be a part of, and I began assisting the coaches with camps when I was too old to attend.I was really impressed with how this group of guys came together each year and used their love for God and soccer to witness to children.
"Looking back on Brilla’s impact on me, I am thrilled to get a chance to represent Brilla on the soccer field.I recently tried out for Mississippi Brilla Jrs., a Brilla sponsored club team in Clinton, and I will play for the U-18 team during my senior year in high school.I strongly encourage anyone interested in getting involved in the Brilla ministry to do so!It will be a life-changing experience."
