Diamonds in the Rough October 2023

A BIG THANK YOU

Sports have the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire, the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sports can create hope, where there was once only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination. Sports is the game of lovers. – Nelson Mandela

This quote came from the end of the inspiring talk from Tim Collins at our breakfast on October 5th. Tim shared about his first few months as Athletic Director at Eastern Washington University as well as what sports meant to him in his life growing up. EWU athletics is in good hands with Tim and the students who participate can expect life impacting experiences.

Thanks to the generosity of those at the breakfast we were able to raise $7,500 to use to feed the kids a second time each week! This is a great accomplishment and we are so, so grateful. 

The goal we set was to add a full year of two meals per week for the team. The cost for this is $7,800 so we are only $300 short (only 2 weeks!) of covering our need at this time. Can you help us cover that final portion? If so, please click the link above or below and donate. We don’t have far to go to get us there!


Come learn more about these kids and support the mission!

CHANGE YOUR LIFE! TAKE AN IMPACT TRIP!

We are taking groups to spend a week with the kids in the DR! If this sounds like something you are for which you are interested in being part, let us know by clicking the link above, sending an email and we’ll get you more information!


As always, we are thankful for you, our supporters. We pray you are happy, healthy and know the peace that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. He’s got all of us in his hand, here and abroad, and for that we are forever thankful. Thank you for your prayers and ongoing support!

With deepest gratitude from the guys.
