An Upward Conversation

Hey Wade, I want to tell you thanks for putting together a great soccer season. The kids on my team and I had a great time. I want to tell you about one of the highlights of the season. We had this girl named Shannon who was the leader. She scored 6 goals in the first game. It seemed that if Shannon wanted to pick up stones at practice, that is what the rest of the team did. The team had a great time picking up bugs during one practice. The night that I presented the plan of salvation to the kids they all seemed interested (except my son) and Shannon said that she was going to speak with her pastor on the following day to pray to have Jesus in her heart and about how she would be different and then she would be baptized. At that moment two of the other girls started to sing a song about Jesus. It was almost too much. So that Saturday at the game both of the teams got to celebrate with Shannon the new follower of Christ. All the other children on the team got to see that the team leader was putting her trust in Jesus. I thank Jesus that he allowed me to be a part of all that.
