Kay Flores

Kaylyn Flores soccer ministry brought her two passions, Jesus and Soccer, together.  
"Though I was a Christian, I never felt comfortable just openly sharing the Gospel.  I have a shy personality. The only place I completely feel like myself is on the field. With that said, being a soccer player and being a Christian never merged. I was two different people on and off the field. 

It took me until my senior year in college to learn that i can use that very thing that i thought was a weakness (my shyness) to answer The Lord's call to spread the Gospel. I was given the opportunity to be trained in sports ministry, specifically soccer, and then sent back to my college soccer team and hometown to use that to further God's Kingdom. It has changed my life, and I wish i had known at an earlier age how I could use my passion of the sport to minister to others.”
