Hello Folks,
Today marks the day that we head out for our spring MiLO over to Croatia to lead a bundle of ministry opportunities! We have 22 people heading to Sisak, Croatia from all over the United States as well as places in Europe to come help HiS PRINT minister through Football Coaches Clinic, Baseball Coaches Clinic, Praying and Delivering Food with the Food Pantry, Elementary School Program to introduce American Sports, Business Seminar with local business owners and CEO's and Hockey Camp. And we are doing all this in 9 days! God has created this awesome opportunity to declare His name and share His love! Please pray for safe travels and energy to share with all those He will be bringing from all over The Balkans! The football clinic has over 100 participants and has become the largest coaches clinic on European soil! Please pray for great weather and clearing of the snow so we can participate outdoors for the clinics.
There are so many praises that have occurred these past 5 days let alone the last time I sent you an update, but I would like to highlight a few, so that you can see God's awesome power at work.
Praise God the shipment of close to 14,000 pounds has arrived safely in port in Croatia and we are praying for quick customs approval and delivery to our warehouse in Sisak by this Saturday, so that we can distribute the football equipment to the coaches.
Praise God for the 1st place finish of the Sisak Storks Little League team this past weekend at the final of the indoor baseball league. This is a huge blessing to see and witness all the parents participation. After the victory the team had a surprise hot dog celebration at HiS HOUSE!
God opened a door of opportunity for me to go a lead chapel service for the 7th nationally ranked Kentucky Wildcats baseball team. It was such a blessing to go and share Christ and to have the opportunity to pour into the players and coaches who attended. In attendance was the Head Coach and the Athletic Director and both men who love the Lord and want to use their job positions and influence as a platform to live Christ! This was neat to do because my 89 year old father is a die hard Wildcat fan, but extremely difficult for a former Indians Hoosier baseball coach! But God guided me through it!
And as if that wasn't enough to celebrate God's power and might, He directed a local church, Kingsland Baptist Church in Katy, to reach out to me and offer HiS PRINT a $2,000 shopping spree for us to buy new equipment for these coaches clinics to go along with the thousands of pounds of donated used equipment. The time spent with their Missions Pastor, Omar Garcia was such a blessing and he got a kick out of this big kid going through the isles with a smile as big as Texas not to mention his eyes!
Blessings abound and the provision and open doors He continues to bless us with, let's us know He is in control and His desire is for us to continue to go love them where they are and love them till they ask why! Please continue to pray for our team leaving to go leave HiS PRINT, but also our families that we will be leaving behind!
Get ready for those updates to come pouring in, sharing with you what your prayers are doing! HE DID IT!
David
