I just came back from an orphanage, it was awesome! Funny how the words orphanage and awesome don’t seem like they should be in the same sentence. The reason for its awesomeness was that it was overwhelming evident that the kids were loved. The family that ran it, the children all exuded love on us as we visited no sadness except in my own heart that I couldn't take them all home. I've been able to visit quite a few orphanages and it’s not always the case, Lord please let this family be an example of how we all should take care and love on the least of us.

Carrie translating a letter to one of the boy's, it was from his sponsor, loved being apart of this!
Things are getting exciting around
here! Summer is here and we’re going to
start our sport day camps in a week or two.
The camps will be a great way to build relationships with all of the
local children and families and a great way to kick off our youth soccer league. We’re hoping we can get the league started this
fall. Below are some pictures of our
first sports camp and community service outreach, can’t wait to be doing these
several days a week!
Our
Soccer/Futbol Program:
We will initially have over 1,000 kids,
ages 6-16, both boys & girls. Our goal is to make it free but the kids will
have to be involved in the whole program, which will include:
•
Community
service - teams will work hand in hand with us on multiple projects
•
Each
team will adopt a home of an elderly person or family in need & with our
help, will provide them
assistance & care
•
Scholarship
opportunities
•
Feeding
Program
•
Life
skills training, health & hygiene leadership development
Our Vision is to develop a prototype youth
sports discipleship program that can be duplicated nationally &
internationally. Raising a new generation of leaders that will love their
fellow man, instill hope in their future & help change the cycle of poverty.
Thank you to all of you who have supported
us with good wishes, prayer and financial support; we can’t do it without
you. We are currently in the need of continuous
monthly sponsors and individuals who would like to make one time donations,
anything you can do is a blessing.
First score of the game!
