PRAYER

Praise God for
- The Summer camps, for His hand in every camp and every person involved! For the beautiful way we were able to spread the Gospel and invest in His kingdom!
- Every kid that invited Jesus into their heart, and for those who re-commited or somehow got closer to God! His faithfulness and love endures forever!
- All the host families and their amazing heart always ready to serve and to open their homes to the coaches.

Please Pray for
- All the people involved in the camps, may we all reflect in what God taught us so we can continue growing in Him.
- The Women’s Intersunago tour in Guatemala, from August 15 to August 31. For all the girls to arrive safely and that God continues to pave the way using everything for his glory.
- Guatemala, that God opens doors and guides each step in order to raise up leaders in this ministry and continue to share the Gospel through this simple game of soccer.

Summer Part1

Heeey my stunning family!! How are you all?? Summer's over, can you believe that!


God did so many amazing things this summer, Im going to have to send more than one newsletter this month, just so I don’t make this one so so long jeje. Let me just give the overview of where God took me:


- June 18 – June 30 : Fort Lauderdale, visiting friends, one of my best friend’s wedding, and God surprised me by being able to serve in a Bible Camp and a Soccer Clinic!




What a blessing! These kids really steal your heart away, they receive love with open arms, the discipline was a challenge but love always wins!!

- First week of July: SMTC (A Training Course for Sports Ministry)


They train us for the camps, it was also a great time to work on the harmony and unity of the team, and what an awesome team we became!



Also I had the opportunity to draw closer to my host family The Riddles, who were an incredible loving family, and get in touch with past families that also opened their home and heart taking me in as part of the family!





- Second week of July: Parkside Camp!


We started strong, it was truly such a great camp! I had the junior division (6yrs old to 9yrs old), and they did so good!


We had great bible time, and all of them prayed to receive Jesus in their heart, it was just beautiful!

My team was the Venezuelan Vipers. We had really good soccer sessions and an even better bible time, Praise God all of them prayed to receive Jesus in their heart, it was just beautiful!

- Third week of July: Scranton Road, the most expected camp from my part, it’s in the inner-city in Cleveland.


Many of these kids have had a rough childhood, come from broken homes, and it is truly such a joy to love on them and see God working through that love, and the growth truly goes both ways.




We won the world Cup, but the best part was how they responded to bible time, they too were very open to Jesus, and 3 received Jesus in their heart! What a privilege to be part of that!


The family that hosted me was amazing, I had such a sweet time even though it was short it really blessed me and God used it greatly to encourage me by seeing the great testimony they were as a home.

- The las two weeks were in California, they were also amazing camps, but I will share more about that in the next newsletter!! Now I'm currently in Guatemala, and the following weeks the Women’s tour is taking place here and praise God, I am able to be part of that, so please keep us in prayer!
Again all this is possible thanks to your prayers and your generous support, thank you so much! I LOVE YOU!
