Timothy Project: Forge Honduras 2016 Final Update

CrossTraining Timothy ProjectForge sent two teams out this past summer on international mission and training trips. Their Timothy Project request was for a team to Honduras and a team to Mexico. This Timothy Project: Forge Honduras 2016 final update comes from the team that spent time in Santa Lucia, Copan, and Tegucigalpa.  The team put into practice biblical training and team building that is part of Forge’s discipleship process designed to launch young people back into their local communities.

Forge representatives shared,

“The practice jerseys brought an amazing element to our time at a village in Santa Lucia, Honduras. Having the opportunity to engage those we were ministering to in sport opened relational and spiritual doors. The practice jerseys and cones helped us to use soccer to bridge the gap! In addition, the Rapids jerseys that we gave out as gifts were a HUGE hit. We blessed our hosts with them as gifts, and also passed some out to school children in the villages in Copan, Honduras. School administrators were so excited to be able to use them for their students. 
Timothy Project: Forge Honduras 2016 Final Update
One of the most amazing stories in Honduras was the opportunity we had to supply enough jerseys to field a team for our host, Stephen, in Tegucigalpa! His calling and ministry on the streets of Tegucigalpa is to build relationships with and eventually renew purpose and hope for the “glue boys.” The Glue Boys are young boys who are addicted to huffing shoe glue in attempts to stay warm. They are looking to escape the reality of their orphaned lifestyle and poor living conditions.

Stephen has been trying to fundraise in order to purchase Timothy Project: Forge Honduras 2016 Final Updateuniforms for one of their ministry centers that house the older boys coming off the streets.
However, because jerseys were so expensive they didn’t think they’d be able to get any. Now, with the Rapids jerseys, they have enough uniforms to field more than two teams! This will provide an amazing asset to relationally engage the street kids they are called to minister to. Stephen said this was a huge and unexpected answer to prayer. Praise God!”

Timothy Project: Forge Mexico 2016 Final Update

CrossTraining Timothy ProjectForge sent two teams out this past summer on international mission and training trips. Their Timothy Project request was for a team to Honduras and a team to Mexico. This Timothy Project: Forge Mexico 2016 final update comes from the team that spent time in Saltillo and Toluca, Mexico serving and ministering to people there. The team consisting of young adult students from across the U.S. and internationally, were putting into practice the biblical training and team building that is part of Forge’s discipleship process designed to launch young people back into their local communities.

Lisa, one of the Forge team leaders wrote about the team’s experience,

The jerseys and equipment added such a fun and special surprise blessing to our trip!  Our highlight was being able to pass the jerseys out to a large group of youth in Toluca (60+) after an afternoon youth service!  We used them to split up for teams for soccer, and at first, we didn’t tell them that they were theirs to keep because we wanted to keep it a surprise.  After a solid hour or more of playing soccer, building relationships and having fun, we let them know as our time concluded that the jerseys were theirs to keep as a gift!  They were so stoked and filled with gratitude!  You could tell they were thrilled to have them and were very thankful.  

Timothy Project: Forge Mexico 2016 Final Update

We were really impressed by this group of young adults who genuinely cared about one another and were passionate about Jesus Christ and making a Kingdom impact on their communities.  We are praising God that He had us hold onto them for just the right time and place with the young adults of this community.

Timothy Project: Forge 2016

CrossTraining Timothy ProjectFor the past 25 years, Forge has been sending international mission teams to countries in various locations throughout the world in fulfillment of their mission and vision to raise up “Kingdom Laborers” who are challenged, equipped and mobilized to follow Jesus and his example to make disciples who make disciples. Most of Forge’s international teams engage the international mission field as part of an intensive discipleship training program that is headquartered from Denver, CO.

Teams usually consist of young adult students from across the U.S. and from other international locations. Forge provides biblical training, team building, stateside and international ministry opportunities and a life-planning process that launches them back into their local communities. Forge uses sports as a platform to communicate the gospel message to indigenous people groups and are asking CrossTraining via the Timothy Project for help in equipping their teams.

This year, Forge will be sending one team to serve in Saltillo, Mexico in partnership with one of Forge’s indigenous alumni, Isaac, who is studying to be a doctor. The Mexico team will serve on the streets of Saltillo and at a large youth camp. The team will then travel to the heart of Mexico—Mexico City—where they will be hosted by another indigenous alumni, Santiago. The team will put on a youth conference in Toluca, Mexico. Then serve a rural community in the town of Atlacomulco.

Forge will also be in Honduras. The team this year will be partnering with an indigenous alumni, Marcia, in Copan where they will serve alongside a local ministry hosting camps for local youth. Then they will take a bus to the capital city of Tegucigalpa where they will partner with a local school to minister to youth in the city. The team is praying about an opportunity to bring the message of Hope to the “glue boys”—orphaned young boys who are addicted to shoe glue—on the streets of downtown Tegucigalpa.

4 nets (2 per team)
