Soccer

Two from our team with Reuben (youth pastor)
and Reuben (family pastor)
In this city of 35,000 there is only one basketball court and one soccer field. As the tallest and most athletic of the three gringos, you can imagine how I feel about this, personally.

Soccer is the main sport in Guatemala, so the church had a vision to provide a soccer field as a ministry to and gathering point for the community. The soccer field is pictured here (they are some pretty tough hombres to play on concrete). Actually, it will have astroturf on it.

There's not a single playground in Sumpango. So that's here too. This was built by the E-Free Church in Lodi, Wisconsin, partnering with Kids Around the World, with whom LakeView packed meals for Guatemala.
