Last week we shared about CrossTraining's gift to His Little Feet international choir when they were on tour this past summer. Now, in the Timothy Project: His Little Feet 2016 - Part 2 we share the rest of the story. Driving away after giving brand new jerseys to the boys int eh choir, CrossTraining's Executive Director, Rev. Brad Kenney, had his two older girls ask, "Dad, what about the girls?" The international choir featured 10 boys and nearly as many girls - all from different walks and backgrounds. "Well, I asked their tour director about it and he didn't think that the girls would want soccer jerseys." "But dad, they looked like they would have liked to receive something, too."  was the earnest plea

Not all Timothy Projects are about going overseas. Sometimes its about those who come to the U.S. Timothy Project: His Little Feet 2016 - Part 1 is one of those stories. This past summer the international choir, His Little Feet, came to Denver, Colorado on tour. When CrossTraining Executive Director, Rev. Brad Kenney, heard their music and listened to their stories he felt touched - that maybe for these children many of whom were orphans and hoping for adoption might enjoy a special gift. Many of the children in the choir have had significant losses - their parents, their homes, their families. They live with virtually nothing compared to those of us in the U.S. And so, after hearing them in

A few weeks ago, Jessica Gimbel and her husband went with a team from Cherry Hills Community Church to Juarez to build a few houses. As part of the Timothy Project: CHCC Juarez 2016 final update they now share a bit of the story from their time there. We were able to hand out over 100 pairs of cleats and the One-World Play soccer balls that were donated by CrossTraining's Timothy Project.  We were able to play soccer with them more than once while we were there.  Our daughter was also able to play with them and loved every minute of it!  She can't wait to go again next year. All the children got super excited about playing soccer...even playing around

This week Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church leaves again for Juarez, Mexico, for a week-long mission trip. CCPC has been serving alongside Pastor Jorge Mata and La Iglesia Maranatha for nearly 30 years. This year the short-term mission team will look to work on several service projects on the church compound, lead a morning and afternoon session of Vacation Bible School for 70-100 children and some adults, and continue cultivating relationships with area families, youth, and adults through soccer and other activities. CCPC reached out to CrossTraining last year and made a Timothy Project request. You can read about all they accomplished here. This year, they are requesting any t-shirts, shorts, jerseys, and soccer or basketball equipment that they can take down to enhance their ministry. Pastor Chris Piehl commented

In what has been one of the more difficult projects to see fulfilled,  Timothy Project: Liberia 2015 and the goal of Liberian Institute for Empowerment (L.I.F.E.) was to fill and send a shipping container from Colorado to Liberia. The container was finally packed with a lot of soccer equipment, school supplies, and even a vehicle. CrossTraining's commitment was over 800 pieces of soccer equipment including Colorado Rapids jerseys, cones, training vests, backpacks, and cleats and you can read the last update from July. Just last week, CrossTraining received an update on the container and we share that with you now,   The large sign announces, “WELCOME TO THE FREEPORT OF MONROVIA: THE GATEWAY TO LIBERIA’S ECONOMY.”  A sad irony now, given what we painfully endured
