They are also planning a trip to the USA in June!
Here is what Rogerio says:
Our soccer program has been invited to take a team to go to the US in June 2013 to Covington, IN. I have been talking to Ryan Sowers who is a High School teacher at Covington High School and is the head soccer coach. We thought it would be a great opportunity for both ends if we make this trip happen. From sharing the gospel in the US to giving the Brazilian players a chance to experience another culture, this trip would be a huge learning experience. Additionally, it gives our Brazil soccer program a solid credibility status which would encourage boys and girls in Carpina to choose our sports programs.
We are working on fundraising for the trip to cover the cost of airplane tickets. Ryan secured reasonably priced ground transportation while they are in Indiana and has also raised funds for lodging and meals with his church. We are working hard to gain the cooperation with local businesses so they can be involved with this great journey as well. We understand that it takes time to build credibility but we are hopeful for the best! Our sports project is growing so we are excited for the future as we watch the Holy Spirit of God changing these kids' lives.
The boys are doing little jobs to raise spending money and they are really excited for the opportunity. Would you consider helping us with the cost of the airline tickets and hosting our group for two days?
