Progress with Neighborhood Soccer Teams

We were able to purchase the uniforms & practice balls/equipment for Team Barcelona (15-18) today. The boys have worked hard to raise money and are now able to look like an official team, thanks to the donation from Kiwanis last Friday. Here's what their uniforms will look like:




This week we will focus on helping the younger Barcelona team... I call them Barcelona Juniors because I get them mixed up.

If you are interested in coming out to support the boys on either team, please give me a call at our office number (562.804.2189) and I'll set you up with the upcoming schedule. Games are usually on Saturday mornings. Please come out and cheer on the teams. It means a lot to them.

Also, I just heard of a girls team that is starting up in our neighborhood.

We DEFINITELY need a park!!

Proud of our young men...

I am so proud of Sabino & Fernando. We just got back from a Kiwanis service club meeting where they did a presentation on their neighborhood soccer team, Barcelona. Their team has raised over $1,000 on their own, but they needed $1,444 more to finish buying uniforms and paying registration/insurance. They did such a good job that the group pledged $1,000 from thier children's foundation. In addition to that, individuals were so impressed by Sabino & Fernando's efforts and gave an additional $455 out of their own pockets to support the team.

Praise God for his faithfulness & provisions.

It is an honor to work with these talented neighbors. I am full of hope and excitement for our community.

This is the flyer that we passed out at the meeting today:
