I am not a “Sports Person”.  I may be athletic but I’ve never played an organized sport in my life.  Unless you count 7th grade basketball where I happily warmed the bench.  I’m 5’5” and I carry a unique family gene where I can actually fall going up stairs.

My three daughters all played soccer for years but I still struggle to even see off-sides.  And when I climbed Kilimanjaro for this very school in Kenya, I had never climbed anything.

As I walked through the Mathare Valley, one of the worst slums in the world , I wondered…

Where do they play?

The Joy of these children was contagious!  How do they have such joy? Pastor Rick Warren says, “When God is all you have, God is all you need!”  I’m finding this to be true.

Now I am on His adventure to help bring Sport to these 16,000 children at Missions of Hope (MOHI), in Nairobi Kenya.

I always wanted to be used by God but certainly did not feel equipped.  I’m a commercial banker, not a pastor, teacher or even a doctor.

If God wanted to show my strength, He would have used me in the “business side” of this Mission.  But He wants to show HIS strength so He’s put passion in my heart for these children and Sports Outreach.  I am not equipped!   But God is famous in using unqualified people for His purposes.  I am no exception.

On July 21, I am excited to be a part of a team that will again travel to MOHI to participate in a week long VBS/Sports Outreach for 400 elementary children.  Our plan is to take what we learn to assist in building a Sports Mission Outreach Program for MOHI.

We dream of supplying these children not only with sports equipment and a future Sports Field to play but equipping them with the love of God, though the love of Sport!

This sounds like an impossible dream, but we are asking for your support.  I have said before, there are so many causes, so much hurting and so much asking.  But we are not asking for us.  If you would like to join us and help bring joy to these 16,000 children through Sport, please check out the link below.

We are counting on God to provide immeasurably more for these children that we could ever hope or dream or imagine!  At the end of the day, I want to be able to say, whatever my Game…it’s all for His Glory!
