The game is On!

In February we started a soccer tournament with the middle school boys and girls from the local BV school, it is a new thing for them and something they have never done... there are 4 boy teams and 4 girl teams, each with 5 to 7 players.  We did it mainly to get to know the kids and spend some time with them because in the mornings they work before going to school in the afternoons, but has been bigger blessing!!! we have seen a lot of “raw talent” in them and just how enthusiastic and sweet some of them are... It just makes us hope and pray that they stay in school and get to know all this other activities so they may get a better chance in life.

We know the process of selecting the boys for the BV Academy is not going to be easy.


New mercies every day!

Oh man... having spent some time with the Men was an amazing time for me. I was able to meet people with amazing hearts and just to see how Gods works in and through them was and unforgettable experience, and now I know that I have friends and brothers that support me in many ways... and that together we seek the same goal: to work with sports and see the lives of this generation of kids in Buena Vista change to God. 

I am so proud of these boys! People is already able to note some good changes in their attitude and a fair game inside the field. 

I am so thankful! with God for this opportunity of being part of this ministry.
