Preach the Gospel, Use Soccer if Necessary

 
St. Francis of Assisi may or may not have said "Preach the Gospel, use words if necessary," the Buena Vista Sports Academy in Travesia, Honduras uses soccer. They minister to boys in a very poor part of Honduras with daily soccer lessons and activities. Soccer is the vehicle, the destination is life with Christ. 

Our crossfit gym in Florida, Trinity Fitness, asked me (Dave) to lead a trip of gym athletes on a short term mission trip. We went to Honduras to work alongside BVSA. For most of our team, it was their first ever mission trip.

Buena Vista Sports Academy in Honduras is run by former Trinity Fitness trainers, Jeremy and Maria Foster, and the gym helped launch them to the mission field 9 years ago. The Fosters claim Trinity as one of their sending "churches." The entire gym helped send us with their finances, prayers, and other donations. The entire gym has been activated in world missions, there will be more trips!

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. John 15:16
So why just the boys? BVSA feels godly boys will grow into godly men and they will have godly families, impacting a generation and a nation. 
Here I am with Graydon on his first ever mission trip. He has been fully activated for world missions, he will be making a mission trip to the Philippines this summer!
The boys of the academy are fully immersed in the Word of God with regular Bible study.
We went on a scavenger hunt with some of the academy boys, one of the tasks was to chase and catch a chicken. In the words of Rocky Balboa, "I felt like a Kentucky Fried idiot."

The First Day of the Rest of Her Life

After seven nights in NICU, Gabriella is finally with us. Today is the first day of the rest of her life. To all who held us so tightly in prayer during this very difficult time, we want to express our extreme gratitude and appreciation. Thank you for standing with us in prayer, seeking God for health and healing for our newest child. Your prayers are powerful and effective, so don't stop. If you happen to be in the Maryland area, please feel free to contact us if you want to come see the newest missionary in the family.
