According to Sean Williams a whole Life Sports Ministry the aim of the exercise was to take the children who are unchurched and show them that through sound Christian principles and sports that their lives could be transformed to a worthwhile endeavor making them better for the future.

 

Several of the participants expressed thanks for the inaugural exercise and hope that it will continue.  According to Chambers of Commerce president Dennis Robothom

the exercise is a sound one that will instill good habits into the participants and show them another way out.

 

"This gesture of the nine churches, giving the children a chance will work wonders as it will show them that they are still very good role models out there.  It will heal their little minds."

 

As a way of displaying how the kids game will work, they were given sporting task such as football, cricket, printing and other games to make them a complete player.
