Fall is Here!
October/19/07 Filed in: Soccer | Local Church Ministry
It’s hard to believe it’s already fall! We had a terrific summer and hope that yours was a blessed one as well!
We’re expecting the arrival of Kadin’s little brother or sister on November 6th. We can’t wait! We covet your prayers for Alice and the baby’s health, and for a safe and timely delivery.
Summer Highlights
*I (Sean) spent time at a soccer school/ministry connected with a thriving church here in Tokyo. The head of the school, Coach Ortega, is a former member of the Argentina National Soccer Team. He is a phenomenal coach and a passionate follower of Jesus Christ.
In five years, the school’s enrollment has increased to over 250 children! I’m looking forward to learning lots more from Coach Ortega this year on how to more effectively minister through soccer in Japan.
*We had an awesome time of fellowship at our church’s annual family camp. We spent much time discussing and praying for God’s vision for the church over the next five years. God gave us greater unity and continued to stir up passion among the body to hear His heart for our church.
A huge highlight was seeing four children get baptized! All of the kids are elementary or middle school students. We were touched by their simple faith and love for Jesus. Please pray for their spiritual growth and that they’ll shine for Jesus in their schools.
