It’s soccer time!

The youth of Roatan are precious and they are in great need of more opportunities to grow in the Lord and spend their time developing into young men and women of integrity. Sports activities are a great way for this to happen!  Without structured opportunities for youth to spend their time positively, they are often consumed by the easy to come by lifestyle of drugs, prostitution and crime. 

That’s why Hank is really excited to announce the formation of Pandy Town’s first minor soccer league. Hank was able to meet with the parents of forty kids who were interested. He estimated about 75% of the children came from a single-parent household. The team is made up of kids ages 5-13 from Pandy Town and the nearest community Oak Ridge.

So far over $600 has been raised to cover the cost of team shoes and balls. We are hoping to raise additional funds to make team shirts/uniforms, put together a first Aid kit and provide transportation for the team.

Please be in prayer for the solidification of the team and their remaining needs. Pray that this team becomes a place for children to be discipled, nurtured and inspired for what their lives could be in Christ.

We would also like you to continue to pray for the young adults ages 13-18 who are still in desperate need of constructive activities to fill their time with. Pray for the funding of the Alpha Community Center to grow so that we can expand its programs.
