About BUENA VISTA SPORTS ACADEMY INC

Buena Vista Sports Academy (BVSA) is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) ministry founded in 2010 that operates soccer-based discipleship academies for boys and young men in Guatemala, Honduras and other international locations. The organization centers daily Bible teaching, life-on-life discipleship and church-planting alongside athletic training. In recent years BVSA has advanced its Quiché (Guatemala) project—adding classroom, kitchen and chapel work—and reported substantial donor-supported growth that has funded capital projects and expanded its academy operations. BVSA maintains a U.S. mailing/administrative address in Saint Johns, Florida and supports regional team websites and missionary blogs for program updates and sponsor engagement.
