Many thanks to all who came out Saturday to bless the kids of Maple Leaf through a Soccer Clinic. Thank you to Pastor Craig of Grace Bible Church in Wall, along with Todd, Athletes in Action and Nick for bringing a salvation message. So many volunteers from Grace came out and showed the love of Jesus by handing out soccer shirts and cleats, playing music, cooking burgers and hot dogs, providing a great dinner and of course teaching and playing soccer in the rain! Also thank you to the ML volunteers who came out and helped clean the field, set up tents and shared their time as well loving on the families who came out.

As soon as Pastor Craig finished praying at the start of the day the rain began. And aside from a brief break, just in time to enjoy the BBQ, the rain poured and poured. However, it did not stop the volunteers from smiling or the kids from playing. Actually, had it not rained, many of the boys would have been playing basketball instead of joining us and the intense heat would have limited the amount of time we had to spend with everyone.

Every child received a backpack with a bible, Jesus DVD, bracelet and invite to the Grace Soccer Camp in August.

It is so reassuring to know that God is in control of all things, including the weather, and He made  the day perfect.

Please pray for all those who heard the Gospel and that their hearts would move closer and closer towards a saving relationship in Jesus.
