More than a few people have asked me, "What does your work and ministry look like right now?" When probing further into their questions, the obvious is part of their inquiry — there aren't any sports going on right now, social distancing means that people aren't together in the ways they used to be — so what does chaplaincy in soccer look like? Allow me to share some quick samples from Soccer Chaplains United's work: An athlete from another country is without a car while playing here for one of our lower division teams — getting to physical therapy appointments has been difficult. One of our chaplains has stepped up to drive him to his appointments.Another athlete and his wife recently welcomed

"Houston, we have a problem, ..." Well, friends, our Easter Egg Hunt was off to a good start; however, we soon received word that the Google/Android side of the app hadn't been properly completed and there was no new app for our non-Apple friends. 😫 So, unfortunately, we had to suspend the Easter Egg Hunt and postpone it. Raise my own hand on this (I'm a chaplain, not an app developer) and apologize. We will restart the egg hunt once the Google Play Store has the final app ready for release. We will announce a start time as well. We did have one very ambitious egg hunter who found all 9 eggs and it took them approximately 18 minutes! I

Soccer Chaplains United is hosting its very own, virtual Easter egg hunt! On Easter Sunday morning, April 12, at an unannounced hour and in coordination with the release of our new app, there will appear Easter "eggs" hidden throughout the app that can be "discovered" by exploring the different areas of the new app. In what is a common practice in gaming — usually a developer will hide different "eggs" in a program that are a special gift or prize to the "explorative" gamer. There will be 9 different, hidden eggs in our new app! The nine eggs commemorate the nine different teams that Soccer Chaplains United currently serves from the professional ranks to high school teams. The first users

Well it has come time to say goodbye...and this is not a late April Fool's joke. No, not to me! To Brad Evans. Soccer Chaplains United has had an app (SoccChaplain) that we launched when we went through our rebranding a few years ago. A stock photo featuring Seattle Sounders MLS player, Brad Evans, has adorned our front page screen, letting athletes know where to click in our app for content that is designed for them. Pretty soon, the old app will go the way of the dinosaur A few months ago, we were notified of new requirements from Apple and Google for app developers and we started working on a new app in conjunction with our fundraising partner PushPay.

The global pandemic of Coronavirus has meant quite a few changes in the United States and around the world. Valor Christian High School, originally slated to fly down to Tamarindo, Costa Rica during spring break and the school's practicum week (March 14 - March 23) ended up canceling the trip along with their other Discovery Team trips. Although it is difficult not to be in Costa Rica this week, I was filled with joy that our houses were still built and were able to change the lives of two families forever. I am grateful for the hard work team Costa Rica put into the fundraising for the houses and also to our trusted partner that carried out the work in
