Our family to South Africa!

I (Mike) have been asked by Athletes in Action (AIA) to assist with the first ever pro soccer mission trip going to Johannesburg, South Africa this December! We will be taking professional soccer players from North America to partner with Athletes in Action SA staff to help build relationships with soccer players, fans, coaches, and officials to help accelerate their ministries.

Also, our whole family is able to go! We are thrilled for the opportunity to involved our kids in overseas projects. Tonya will be doing communication for the project and our kids will assist as equipment managers.

During the trip (Dec 5-17), our group will work alongside the players and their families to share the love of Jesus through soccer. We will help facilitate soccer clinics for kids, distribute water and aid within townships, and help start soccer ministries in various cities.

We each need to raise $2500 to participate. This money will cover our airfare, living expenses, and the equipment the group will need for our outreaches. Would you consider making a donation of $25, $50, $100, or even more? Please keep in mind that any gift will help us towards our goal!

If you are willing to make a donation and/or pray for our team, please fill out the commitment card and send it back to us within the enclosed envelope. All funds are due to AIA before December 1st.

Thank you so much for your consideration!

Sincerely,

Mike
