A young Haitian boy is about to hit a corner kick with an old MLS ball and donated soccer cleats from a Colorado Rapids player.

The first Timothy Project of the year is already complete. A team from Colorado and Cherry Hills Community Church made their way to Haiti to work with children during a weeklong mission trip, March 26-April 2. The team hosted several soccer tournaments and camps and did several construction projects, including building church and school benches, hosting hundreds of kids in Vacation Bible School, securing tarps on roofs for widows, serving at a large orphanage, delivering rice and beans, fitting hundreds of people with shoes and clothes and helping the sick. This Timothy Project involved providing a mix of used and new equipment (shoes, clothing, and balls) to the team to give away to youths and area churches.

The team worshipped at Thomassique Christian Church on Easter Sunday and witnessed a Voodoo priest accept Christ as Savior, along with 5 others. Many other Haitian children prayed the prayer of salvation at Vacation Bible School. God is working in powerful ways in Haiti and Cherry Hills and CrossTraining is blessed to partner together in even this small way.
