Delaware Valley Eagles

Brit Haseltine

About me:

I was born and raised in Delaware County (“Delco”), PA, and attended The Christian Academy (TCA) K-12. I played soccer at Messiah College, received a degree in engineering, and returned to Philly to work for the Navy. I love all sports, fishing, Excel spreadsheets, reading, and gathering people. I am a product of the unconditional love of my parents, the accountability of my coaches, and the best friends. Above all, truly, it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. He is my all in all.

What brought me to MAI:

Since I was young, God has placed me in formative sporting environments. Working to reflect God’s nature, alongside my Dad, coaches, team mates, and now the players I coach, is like Church on a field. It is one of the most fruitful, meaningful, and joyful aspects of my life. Through internal and external confirmations from the Lord, I began pursuing the start of a sporting club ministry in the Delaware Valley before I knew MAI existed. A friend connected me with MAI and I found the Eagles to be near exactly what I had envisioned, with years of experience. The Lord’s hand was so clear and good to me through the process, I would love to tell you all that He’s done and is doing, please ask me! Ultimately, I believe sports to be incredibly fertile ground for the heart of mankind and that I have been blessed with the ability to work that ground. The world is hurting without Jesus Christ. I feel a serious responsibility and joy to share with them eternal life, walking with God, both in this life and forevermore.

About me:

I am married to my lovely wife, Grace with two children, Charlotte and Benaiah. We live in Delaware County so we obviously love Philadelphia sports. Though we are passionate about sports, we are even more passionate about building Gods kingdom here on earth.

What brought me to MAI:

What brought me to MAI is a passion for using sports to both evangelize and disciple. Sports is one of the most wonderful means we have at our disposal to communicate the gospel to those in our communities.

Holly Scoffone

About me:

My life, from the moment I was born, has been nothing short of witnessing God’s hand and grace through ministry. My parents were missionaries, serving Cambodian refugees here in the States and in Cambodia. Watching their faithfulness to the Lord and how they gave everything to Him shaped me into who I am today. I am also the youngest of 4 girls, and always felt like our church was an extension of our family. I am an extrovert through and through which is why I always loved playing sports growing up and being part of a team. I’ve also loved capturing moments through photos and videos for as long as I can remember. After majoring in Marketing at West Chester University, I knew I wanted to use my creativity to market what I’m passionate about!

What brought me to MAI:

I joined the Del Val Eagles because I love soccer, community and any opportunity to use the gifts God has given me to serve others and build His kingdom! I have been tremendously blessed to see God work in all different ministries and have experienced my own growth in my relationship with the Lord through playing sports. For these reasons, I was super excited to join the team as the Social Media Manager, using my experiences and creative skills for the ministry and to make Christ known!

Layna Macurak

About me:

Hey there! I’m Layna. I’m a wife to Phil and mom to our daughter Charlie. I’m passionate about seeing other people experience the joy and freedom that Christ offers them. As a kid I fell in love with the game of soccer, and was blessed to play through college. Concussions have ended my playing days, but I continue to enjoy being active by hiking, running with my daughter and our dogs, and lifting. Phil and I love playing strategy games, exploring new places around the world, and reading in local coffee shops together.

What brought me to MAI:

My connection with MAI can only be explained as an awesome movement of God. Our friend Brit reached out to me within a week of feeling called out of my current church position and asked if I’d ever be interested in soccer ministry. I couldn’t believe the timing! I’m so excited to have the opportunity to use my favorite game to share the love of Jesus with other young soccer players in the DelVal area.

Meghan Wilson

About me:

God tremendously blessed me with a large family dedicated to serving Christ and others. I grew up in a pastor’s household with my 12 siblings where we were taught to honor God in all that we do, including athletics. My dad would always play sports with us every night after dinner which ignited my passion for soccer. My love for competition has been a constant throughout my high school and college years, and it continues today as a soccer coach. When I’m not coaching soccer, I enjoy watching sports, traveling, and spending time with family and friends. I especially love getting to spend time with my nieces and nephews!

What brought me to MAI:

I entered the field of social work shortly after graduating from Cairn University. In that profession, I was met with broken families in the foster care system. I quickly learned that Jesus was the only answer for true healing in these hopeless situations. It was through that experience that God showed me my desire to help and serve those in need. After leaving social work, I began training and coaching soccer full time, but encountered different challenges that left me questioning the role of youth sports. It was in those moments of questioning that God laid it on my heart to pursue sports ministry, but it was unclear at the time where He was leading me. After much prayer and seeking, He opened the door to MAI where I began volunteer coaching on a weekly basis. During my time of volunteering, God made it clear that this is where He wanted me. God is convicting me, through the teaching and preaching of His word, to surrender all to Him and submit to His calling. I am learning to fully trust in Him, not to rely on my own strength and will, and to pursue His purpose and plan for my life. I am excited to use my passion for sports to share the love of Jesus Christ and to serve others.

About me:

I have been blessed with over 40 years of experience in this game that is enjoyed by the majority of the globe. Over 5 Billion people engaged with the most recent world cup and those numbers will only increase with the next Tournament hosted in the United States, Mexico, and Canada in 2026. Children and adults of all ages wake up every day thinking of their next opportunity to participate in the “Beautiful Game”. As fans, players, and coaches many feel a sense of camaraderie with people of all walks of life and backgrounds, regardless of your team or club affiliation. A world soccer, futbol, fussball, football family…so to speak. As a consequence of this the game continues to grow and affect lives positively. However, the game of soccer on its own will never solve the struggles we all experience in this world. Being transformed into a child of God through his loving grace and growing in relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ allows us to become a part of a family that is far more lasting and fulfilling. A team with a much greater goal of seeking excellence not just in sport, or work, or in our family life, but in living each day to Glorify God in all that we do. Eric Liddell, an olympic gold medalist who prior to leaving his homeland of Scotland to be a missionary in China was quoted as saying “let our motto be…Christ for the world, for the world needs Christ.” Our goal is to spread the good news of Jesus to the world. The game of soccer is how we create and foster relationships so that we may share that message. Jesus is the hope of the world. Being Disciples who make Disciples of that hope is our mission.
