On June 12th the many volunteers and students came to the end of our 5th season at the Maple Leaf Clubhouse. This past year was full of many memorable moments. The relationships with the students have continued to grow deeper as well as the opportunities to share the hope of Jesus Christ.

On Saturday, June 16th Grace Bible Church and Athletes in Action blessed the kids at Maple Leaf with their 3rd annual Soccer Clinic and Community BBQ.

One of the biggest blessings at the clinic was to see that all of the kids who came out to participate, hear a Gospel presentation, receive new soccer cleats and enjoy a great BBQ, are the kids who have communicated to many volunteers that during the nice weather they stay mostly inside so they won’t be bothered by other kids or become part of drama that occurs throughout the summer.

It was so nice to see and hear them laugh and play like kids should. They were so respectful during the Gospel presentation and thanked many after receiving soccer cleats and dinner.

Thank you Grace Bible for your continued prayers and support at Maple Leaf!!

We hope to continue our relationships this summer by having a twice a month church service, starting July 11th, various Vacation Bible Camps and a full week of Soccer Camp.

Please continue to pray for these kids and for the ministry that continues at Maple Leaf.

Thank you!
