Soccer Chaplains United's Timothy Project is pleased to once again supply Colorado Rapids soccer donations to ministry partner, Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church as a team of 30 plans to cross the US/Mexico border into Juarez.  Cherry Creek Presbyterian Church has been working closely with the community in Juarez for several years and it is always a joy to partner with them when a team goes down each year. As the years pass and teams continue to go travel to Juarez, relationships with the local residents continue to grow, continue to deepen.  Soccer is an integral reason for this.  Pick up soccer games are common morning, noon and evening and all are welcome to play, regardless ability and skill.  The Timothy

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.

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

The Timothy Project: Valor Guatemala 2016 tour has finished and we share this final update and photos with CrossTraining supporters. Valor Team Leader Danny Brooks and the team of students and adult volunteers spent nearly two weeks working with the poor and impoverished in Zacapa. Brooks wrote a brief final update with some pictures to tell the story of the team's time in Guatemala. We are SO thankful for CrossTraining Ministries that allows us to make a huge impact in Guatemala...Soccer is such an important part of our ministry in Guatemala.  This year, our team  continued ministry to a local soccer team of young men that live in the impoverished neighborhood called “The Canal.”  Getting their daily water from an infested nearby
