Training em' up & sendin' em' out

Mrs. Patty Morehead has been on the move the past few weeks. She has just been part of a 3 day training workshop, with a ministry called the International Sports Coalition here just outside of Santa Cruz.

The vision of this ministry is to use sports as a means of spreading the gospel & extending the Kingdom of God. Patty helped give some of the training herself, but also invited speakers from Argentina & Columbia to help kick-start the ministry here in Bolivia & prepare other national leaders with a heart for this ministry. Representatives from churches, from all over the country came to receive the workshops, to later apply them in their communities. Some of the themes taught were: 'Athletics & the Bible,' 'Forming Effective Teams,' & 'Explaining the Gospel.'

The 2nd week of December we will be putting on the 4th annual Kids' Games competition between churches, orphanages, & restorative homes here in Santa Cruz. This event has been a huge success here in the past, enabling hundreds of kids to hear about God's redemptive plan for their life, and really think about how they compete & why God has given us this desire to strive for excellence, persevere, work in a team, overcome obstacles & triumph!
