Below is
a summary of accomplishments God has allowed me to be a part of.
2009
Went to Nicaragua and met with pastors and youth to arrange a soccer
tournament for the youth of Somotillo.
Raised over 3,000 to help get a new kidney for a nine year old very
sweet dear to my heart Oscar.
Took a team of 6 to Nicaragua and we put on a huge soccer tournament
for 280 youth which included 2 games for each team. Each team received
full uniforms and we took a large number of cleats for them to use.
We provided all the balls, referees and field set up to make this
a great tournament. At the end of the week we held a banquet where
the gospel was presented and over 50 of the boys accepted the Lord.
That night they also received a hot meal, trophies for the winners
and metals for the all the participants.
During our mission trip we selected a new community to work in and
provided garden tools and equipment to get them started. We also
handed out clothes and toys to all the kids. During this visit to
Ceibita we shared the gospel and over 55 people got saved. They
all are still going to church faithfully. Check out the photo gallery
for photos of Ceibita.
Oscar received his new kidney and he and mother made it through
the procedure with no complications.
Oscar was given a medication that caused his blood pressure to rise
and without the proper care doctors did not know and soon he had
a stroke and then a heart attack. He laid in a coma for 6 days and
on the 12th he passed. I had the privilege of being with him during
that week as well as being there for the funeral.
Raised funds for students in Ceibita and took them shopping for
school clothes and supplies. During this trip I was able to bless
the families in Ceibita with new bibles and notebooks and see their
wonderful gardens.
