Every year a soccer coach from an Ohio school comes down here with teens from the school he teaches at. They host a week long soccer camp at each of the children’s homes. We are here this year with them and they included our team in the party. There are 87 teens on their team. They had a fiesta tonight to kick off the camp and bused all the children from the children’s homes. It is such a neat thing they do for the kids. It’s a really big deal. They give each kid their own soccer ball and two t-shirts. And they teach them how to play soccer. One of the nights there will be a big soccer game between the children’s homes.
They put everyone on campus in matching t-shirts, put up a big tent, cooked up some arrachera (skirt steak), got a band, and served about 500 people dinner.
They kicked off the party with an ice cream eating contest. There were 2 kids from each children’s home. They were blind folded and one child had to feed the other child a bowl of ice cream. The first one to finish won.
Some of the teens that live in the children’s homes got up and gave a testimony. They were trying to encourage the kids to trust in the Lord for their future. And the kids from Imperio De Amor got up and sang. There were kids running around everywhere and you know they were feeling something special tonight.
Isaiah 58:10
“and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.”
