First of all, if anyone missed the US-Algeria game this morning, it was possibly the biggest/most dramatic win in US men’s soccer history. Now we play Ghana on Saturday in the round of 16, and if we win we get the winner of Uruguay-South Korea to play in the quarter finals.
ANYWAYS, ministry lately has been all about soccer (as Stunner’s last two posts have illustrated), and one of the coolest things that we have gotten to do this summer has been play indoor soccer as a team every week. That means just us gringos–without any ridiculously good Honduran 12-year olds to make us look silly.
While the first night we were all a little awkward trying to play a game that many of us haven’t played for years, it has been so relaxing to get some exercise and fellowship with one another through this beautiful game.
Please pray that through all of the stress and busyness of short term summer teams that we will be able to continue to minister to and grow closer to each other.
The three of us, Josh Bolton, Jamie Jacobsen, and Andy Stuntz, delayed college for a year (08-09) to serve as missionary interns in La Ceiba, Honduras. We helped two new missionary families start up several ministries -- a medical clinic, a kids' club, and ESL classes -- in a community called Armenia Bonito. By God's grace and provision (in part through generous supporters and churches back home), we were able to build relationships with nationals in the community, with our host team members, and with each other. We messed up plenty, but we trust that God used us in our brokenness to display his mercy and power.
