CrossTraining is pleased to announce that they will partner again with Valor Christian High School and the Spanish Instructor/Team Leader Danny Brooks. Brooks and his Valor team of students and adults have been traveling to Guatemala for a number of years now to reach individuals and entire communities with the Gospel. In 2015 and 2014, CrossTraining helped to support and supply the Valor team’s work within several impoverished areas in Guatemala.
The Valor team returns to work with Vida Abundante Church for two weeks in June. The church is located near Zacapa, Guatemala and the team will look to use futból (soccer) as an instrument to reach out to children and teens of various villages and continue to build the relationships that their trips have developed on previous trips. Brooks and his team of students will look to engage communities to come out and play soccer with and use this community building time as a platform for sharing the Gospel and connecting them with the local church.
Timothy Project: Valor Guatemala 2016 Needs
Children play with a makeshift goal in Guatemala
Brooks and his team are requesting soccer balls and pumps to leave behind for the local church and community to continue to use in outreach to the surrounding villages. The team from Valor will also have the opportunity to travel to more remote villages, praying and playing with children and their families and, in some cases, leaving behind a special gift of a soccer ball, or soccer uniform.
The Valor team is also seeking to raise enough money to transform one particular soccer field by building soccer goals with actual nets for one of the local fields close to a village of mud houses.
Young Guatemalan boys grin and smile at getting soccer cleats during Valor’s 2015 trip to Zacapa.

For Tenkley, her staff, and the students of Anastasis this goes beyond the classroom. Recently, Deb Weissman, the 4th/5th grade educator at Anastasis reached to CrossTraining’s 
Kids continued to use them throughout the week – chasing balls into the street that had passed straight through the backsides. As CCPC began constructing the house, two team members – both engineers – could not stop thinking about the goals. Knowing how important soccer is to the community and the church’s presence there, they soon were calculating the Pythagorean Theorem in a quest to design indestructible goals. Their plans evolved over two days and then the work began. Kids from the street would lend a hand or sit and watch with eager anticipation. When the goals were finally completed, a game quickly ensured and continued into the late hours of the evening.
Even though the shirts were more like dresses on some of the wee ones, they all beamed with pride in their new gear. With the goals completed, La Iglesia Maranatha also received a generous supply of soccer balls so that future games among the neighborhood kids could continue.
