American Football Camp in Valencia!

Right after we moved, we had two churches come to help us do an American Football Camp outreach for kids. Two of our good friends were the pastors leading the two churches, so it made for a very special time for us!  They were amazing with all the kids at the football camp, but they were also incredible at making our kids feel loved.  It was such a special time for our four kids.

The day after they arrived, Pastor Matt preached, and Wes translated!

Monday morning, we began the American Football Camp!

The team spent lots of time and energy pouring into these unreached kids.  The kids so strongly felt the love of Jesus through these men.  The kids didn't want to say goodbye at the end of the week.

We also snatched a couple moments to relax and enjoy Valencia!

I've been having technical difficulties with my pics because of a recent software update... but I have some awesome pictures of Alec and Caleb with my kids. Once I get things figured out, I will add them to this post!!  These two guys gave up their summer camp so that they could come to Spain, love on my kids, and share Jesus with those who would listen!  We were so grateful for their influence and their encouragement for our kids.  They have so few believers around them; it's a blessing when they get a taste of the fellowship of believers! :)  

We were so grateful for all of these guys coming!  They did a great job sharing the Gospel, loving on kids... but also making our kids feel so loved and special.  Our kids really bonded with these guys... not just Alec and Caleb, but all of them!  There were tears when they left, and we can't wait until we go STAS and see them all again.
