The team has been kept very busy, so you haven´t gotten a recent update. The FH staff sends their best to everyone at MCC. They keep asking how previous team members are and how the church is doing.
So far we´ve made home visits to sponsored children, held math classes and played to a one one tie with the soccer team from the soccer school FH is sponsoring. Coaching by Erin our team soccer officiando kept us from losing.
The Soccer School has been on the real highlights of our visit. There are about 80 neighborhood students involved. They still play on the same dirt field we saw in March. The program itself is top line.
The students are taught many life skills as well as soccer skills. These are at risk students from a very poor area of HCB. Many of them are abandoned and this is their only real connection to anyone who loves them. Through the academy they learn that God loves them and has a plan for their lives.
FH has high goals for the academy and the students, trusting God for the results. If you´ve been to field here you know that is FH´s style. Big goals, big faith. That´s one of the benefits we receive when we visit. We are reminded that we serve an abundant God who can move mountains, esecially the mountains of depair brought on by a broken world.
Please be praying for the FH work here. We are seeing real progress. God is good!
