I wanted to do something adventurous with my sister. This summer I was inspired to do more physically.
I told my sister we should sign up for a half marathon which is 13.1 miles = 21.1 kilometers.
We did. When I can post videos/pictures I will. I am soooo proud of my sister for completing it!
Needless to say...it WAS an adventure!
One we may never venture again, although as the pain fades I find myself wanting to do it again...CrAzY!

Meet Mawuko
MAWUKO, center in the white shirt.
He is about 25 years old and is living in the Volta Region in Ghana. His name means "only God."
He chose to follow Christ just a few years ago and has a heart to disciple children.
Mawuko recently finished the Level Two Sports ministry training. Upon completion of the program, He called me and expressed his excitement and anticipation in doing Kids Games and Ubabalo (outreach and discipleship) in his area. I am excited for him! He has a genuine chance at sharing the Gospel in a relevant way...European Football!
Pray with me for Mawuko. Pray that his passion and faith will remain in the Lord. He is really excited to put into practice what he's learned but given his youth and lack of economic status, there will be some challenges.
The Global Community… a surreal experience
The end of September brought about a tornado of excitement that is still tearing through my calendar!
I was on my way to Hemphill, TX and had a stop-over in Houston. I found out that I would have the opportunity to share about sports ministry with a local church who is sponsoring a soccer team.
Around 2:00 am (CST) I was scouring through online resources from this summer. The more I found the more I realized how incompetent I was. So I sent an email to friends in North Carolina, Washington D.C. and in South Africa, all people that I connected with as a result of my summer training in Italy. The most incredible thing played out…
Within five minutes the friend in South Africa had not only replied with the most helpful information but also forwarded my email to several others doing sports ministry. Within 15 minutes most of those people responded. Within a few hours the friend in D.C. called me. Just a few hours after sending my email, I had a community of people from all over the WORLD who
love Jesus (many whom I’ve never met) filling my inbox with helpful information and encouragement! When I drove to meet with the church supporting the soccer team I was more content with what I did know and what resources I did have, but even BETTER I was more content with what I didn't know, assured that God would fill the gaps! And He did!
I learned about more than just sports ministry through this situation! I got to experience the Global Community step into action on behalf of sports ministry! I now know that I could travel to virtually any part of the world and have brothers and sisters with me!
Our God is bigger than we can ever fathom!
