Juma and the Soccer Field Curse

A Missionary Story for Kids

By: Tim Adrian

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Set against the rich backdrop of Tanzanian life, Juma and the Soccer Field Curse is a powerful story of friendship, forgiveness, and the unstoppable impact of God’s love.

One mistake. One curse. One chance to make things right.

Ten-year-old Juma loves his life in Tanzania—playing soccer with his friends, helping at his family’s dukani, and laughing with his noisy cousins. But everything changes the day a terrible accident leaves his best friend, Ibrahim, seriously injured.

Blamed for what happened, Ibrahim’s grandmother curses Juma, and soon, bad luck seems to follow him everywhere. Just as he begins to find hope and forgiveness, tragedy strikes again—Ibrahim is missing.

Determined to help, Juma sets out on a courageous search that will test his bravery, his faith, and his heart. Can he overcome his fears and follow the quiet voice leading him toward the truth?

Perfect for readers ages 8–12 who love stories filled with mystery, adventure, and heart.

God’s forgiveness is the greatest story.

The story is fast paced. The message that life throws many curves at us all is something we all understand and have experienced. This is an excellent read we need to share again and again. I highly recommend this book to the young and seasoned.
