This dad was expressing his gratitude that his son,
Justin had the opportunity to work with and mentor some of the Compton United
players. He wrote,
...I
wanted to let all of you know how much Justin valued working with your
players. While at Chivas and away from home, he always spoke to me on the
telephone about his experiences with your players and how valuable his time
with them was. He looked forward to working with your guys every
week. It was truly a highlight of his week...
Technically, our
mentoring ministry exist FOR the Compton United players. The pro players commit
to our top CU players as Christian mentors, meeting weekly with them and being
available to them for help at any time. But Justin, a white kid from Utah who grew
up in a strong Christian family, expressed over and over that mentoring kids
from Compton changed HIS life as well. Over the years, we have seen time and
again that God's math is always greater than ours! In this case, because one
pro player was available, he, his family, and our players were all blessed
tremendously!!
After three years of investing in our CU
kids, Justin was just traded to Canada this preseason. It's an incredible loss
for our Compton United family. We will miss him. The players will miss him. I
will miss him! However, in God's economy, we trust that He has great plans for
Justin that will honor and glorify Him. We are so thankful for the time he
spent here. Would you join us in praying that God will continue to multiply
Justin's time here in Compton as he now impacts lives in Canada? We look
expectantly to hear what God has in store for him!
