Reaching People with the Message of Hope through the Game of Soccer

Dear Friends & Family,

I write to you today to share what God is doing in my life. In January 2019, I will be going on a short-term mission trip with Adventure Soccer to eSwantini (Swaziland), Africa, to serve and to share Christ’s love.

Adventure Soccer is a faith-based, non-profit that uses sports as a means to connect with and minister to a hurting world. Their bible-based curriculum for soccer camps and outreach events has been developed to spur on relevant topics that face our youth today.

I’ll be going with a team from Snohomish Community Church. The focus of our ministry will be to support the work of Adventure Soccer ministry, an amazing work involved in Christian outreach, serving orphans and vulnerable children due to the massive AIDS crisis in Africa. Many are living alone in their homesteads with no adult figure in their lives. Our efforts will include connecting with these children through sports to initiate relationships and begin the process of addressing their deeper physical, mental and spiritual needs. We will work in feeding programs, clean water projects, sports ministry efforts and orphan education support work towards meeting these goals.

How Can You Help?

1. Prayer Supporters:
   • Pray for our team, pray for eSwantini, pray for the orphaned children!
2. Financial Supporters:
   • The total need that I’m required to raise is $2,800; which includes everything from airfare, ground transportation, food, room & board, plus other expenses. However, I would love to raise more as the extra funds would go to other team members and a water project that they are currently working on so that they do not have to choose between drinking water vs. watering their crops.
