Introducing Henry...

Our man in Nigeria, Henry Dakat, was born in Jos and started playing football at an early age.  Like many children in Africa his first experience of the 'beautiful game' was of kicking a ball around that was made of plastic bags tied up with string.  Henry's potential, however, shone through and he was invited to start attending the Pepsi Football Academy where he played for a number of years, lining up alongside players of the calibre of John Obi Mikel, who is currently a regular in the Chelsea team.  In his late teens Henry signed for professional team Plateau United before moving on to play for Agaza in Togo.  Henry then returned to Nigeria after one season and joined Youth With A Mission, where he attended the Discipleship Training School with a focus on sports.  Moving to YWAM in Switzerland in 2010, Henry played for one season with FC Cran, based outside Geneva before moving to the UK to complete his studies with YWAM in Harpenden.

Please remember Henry in your prayers as he starts building his ministry in Nigeria.  He is a man with a huge vision for his homeland and seeing God glorified through football.  He has now returned to Nigeria at the start of August and we will be updating this page on a regular basis....
