2021
2020
January 2020
  • We are continuing our Sports Outreach and identifying potential key leaders to help carry the outreach program throughout 2020
  • We are working on planning the activities and trainings for 2020
May 2020
  • As the curfew lifts slowly, we will monitor the pandemic in the next coming months and make a decision on restarting. Maybe looking to do something by October/November -maybe a one day soccer rally with food, music and sharing of the word.
  • We have been able to mentor through lock down by one on one mentoring through whatsapp and even on occasion visit to my yard sitting at a distance with a mask.
October 2020
  • For the month of October, I have ministered to over 450 people through Sports in the Cayman Islands Community. I have given out Bibles to Coaches and several Athletes and some Coworkers as well. I realize that some people are attracted to the cover of books including the Bible. As I present the Bible to each of them I remind them not to make the Bible a collectible item or book, but to sincerely make an effort to read it from start to finish. Some Bibles have extra inserts and devotions included in them etc. But it doesn't change God's word. When I give a Bible, I give it with intent and hope that the individual receiving it will genuinely open it and start to read it and that it would become part of their daily habits.
  • Sports Evangelism Outreach is pretty new in Cayman, and I am very excited to share what I am learning with all who are interested locally. Each time I learn something new and grow more in Christ.
  • Recently, I met some new guys from the community who also like football. One of them approached me and asked if he and his friends can play on a particular day and field. I got permission about the field as it wasn't being used the time they wanted. I told them only under one condition I would help them. That would be in exchange to pray and share with them occasionally. They were delighted for such a trade-off. One said " Who wouldn't want prayers?" And there another chapter of Outreach began.

November 2020
  • November 08, 2020, was a fun night of football (soccer), fun &  fellowship with all the different groups of guys from within the community. It was last-minute planning and one of the guys even helped put the fixture together in the parking lot.  There were 6 teams of about 15 players per team totaling about 125 players.
  • Each player was asked to contribute some funds towards purchasing water and snack etc.  I decided to take the funds I collected to help some youth in our community who lost most of their personal belongings in a recent house fire. I shared with the guys what I decided to do with the funds, and they were very pleased and excited to contribute what they could. One young lady overheard me sharing with another person my plans for the money and she followed me to my car to give me the only tip she made for the night to help out as well. I was very encouraged by her kindness.
  • With a little more planning we are hoping to do it again next month in December, and once again, any funds collected will be given back to our local community one way or the other. 

Yes, I live on a beautiful Island, and when people hear of Cayman they think of money and assume we don't have any needs, but trust me we do in different kinds of ways, like every other country around the world. I certainly could do with some support to get more Bibles to give out freely to all who ask and need, especially in the sporting atmosphere. I would like to be able to organize more sports outreach events & training throughout the different communities in the Cayman Islands. 

Through these outreach events, people's lives are being touched more people are hearing the Gospel and several have considered their lifestyles. 

I close with the scripture taken from Romans 10:14-15. How can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? How can they believe if they never heard about him?  And how can they hear about him unless someone tells him?  That's why the Great Commission commands us to :"GO".
2019
September 2019
  • We had Friday Nights Happy Hours on the football field with Football, Fun & Fellowship
  • We've also been a part of our High School's Morning devotions 2-3 days a week.  Within 4 days approximate 50-60 young people accepted Jesus as their Lord & Savior! 
​August 2019
  • We have an 8 A-side Soccer Outreach tournament that started July 16 and runs through August 31, 2019.
    • Each evening we have about 100 or more people in attendance. In between games, we have a different pastor from various churches come out and share a word no more than 10 minutes. However they stick around to help evangelize and minister as so led.
  • We also have a 1 day soccer fiesta outreach for youth 13 and under.  Date to be confirmed in the summer.

  • Instead of waiting for these guys and young ladies to come to church,  I've felt it inside of me pressed to take church to them on the side of the field.
