Update from
Sports Ministry Mission Team Lead by Tallahassee
The dorms looked
great… and we thanked you by name every time we walked into that AC! Tallahassee
Had a great
trip. We had 12 college soccer players + a girlfriend + Chris Albanese and
his wife. Then we had 5 old folks in their 40s mixed in with all those 18 – 21
year olds (Chris is 27). They played lots of soccer against everything from a
high school team, club teams and even the defending 6-on-6 national
champs. I think our American guys just being there and playing well
opened a lot of doors for Oscar. After a testimony from one of our
guys and brief talk from Oscar, we saw 20+ hands go up to accept Christ at one
mid-field post-game huddle! We had one young man who preached Sunday
at Oscar’s church, and 4 more came forward to accept Christ. We did the
feeding & VBS thing about 5 times, and my team was very sobered by the dump
and the hospital.
We worked ‘em hard,
but I think they were richly rewarded. It was a first mission trip for most of
them.
