GREENER PASTURES

Well, HE DID IT! The European 15U Championship was played out on The NEST in its entirety, with the Championship completed on Saturday! God created a miracle and used the Field of Faith to touch more and more lives. Just to back-track a bit and remind all of you:  on June 25th we had a field of dirt and in 21 days we had enough grass to play the tournament. In my earthly mind I knew there was no way we would play because there would not be enough grass for the field to be playable, plus with any sort of rain we would have mud up to our necks. Well God proved me wrong again, and not only did the grass grow enough to be playable, but several thunderstorms moved through and dumped a whole bunch of rain on the field during the tournament! But with some hard work from the Storks organization and some revamping of the schedule, the tournament was completed and God gets all the glory. HiS PRINT was mentioned time and time again by the tournament organizers in Sisak, telling the teams and their followers how we have helped them make this all possible.  Teams from 5 countries heard of the opportunity to receive equipment in the future! God is SO GOOD!

During this week a construction crew came to HiS HOUSE to start laying out the requirements for expanding our upper room, building out the upper back patio, and building a new commercial kitchen. As they were walking through the garage looking at the possibilities they came across some old, old bats I had set aside to throw away! When they saw the bats they got very excited and asked if they could take some for their kids and grand-kids. I told them to take what they wanted and they each only took one. Seeing their excitement at receiving the bats, I brought out a new ball, HiS PRINT shirt and new hat for each one of them! It was like watching young children at Christmas! It just blessed me through and through! I look forward to our new addition to HiS HOUSE, but I’m also praying for some new additions to the Storks!
This is the Construction Crew!  They were happy to receive baseball equipment from HiS PRINT!

These next several days I will be recouping and hopefully getting some rest and strength back before Vukasin and I take off on Tuesday to go on our Discovery Tour into Bosnia. In March we had the pleasure of meeting several players and coaches from there, as well as the President of the Bosnia Football Federation, Eldar. When the coaches clinic concluded in March, Eldar asked me if I would come visit him and several other teams that we had helped with equipment. So on Tuesday, Vuk and I will take off for Sarajevo and see if God opens the door for us to do camps and share Christ’s love there in summers to come. 

Have a wonderful God filled day and talk to you soon! 

David
