THE "SANTOS LUTERANOS" SOCCER TEAM

We had an extra special treat our last night in Guatemala when we saw the "Santos Luteranos" (Lutheran Saints) soccer team from Mighty Fortress Lutheran Church of Guatemala City play a game. They were the only team in the league that had been playing without team shirts. Our Pastor Mueller from Trinity found a donor who donated the team's shirts and the special protective equipment for the goalie. The pastor of Mighty Fortress is in the 2nd row at the left and Pastor Mueller is next to him. He runs a very active youth program and pays for many of their activities out of his own personal funds and feels that through their youth group he is able to keep many of these "at risk" kids away from gangs. He is a true gift from God!
