Timothy Project: Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church, Juarez 2017.  Soccer Chaplains United has a strong commitment to support ministry partners.  Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church of  Englewood, Colorado is a ministry partner so great efforts went into providing a robust Timothy Project donation when they requested it for their recent trip to Juarez, Mexico.

This past weekend, I met with the Board of Directors for Soccer Chaplains United for our quarterly meeting. We accomplished a lot within our time together. Amongst some of the highlights were reviewing the bylaws that were initially formed as CrossTraining, accepting a couple of board resignations, and reviewing the work over the 3rd quarter.
