Last month, a friend mentioned that his nephew who is taking a year off before starting college, was coming to Haiti on a short term trip and that since he likes soccer, he might be able to help Richard with soccer ministry. That was music to Richard's ears because he has been feeling overwhelmed working a lot by himself. Daniel Scheirman came toward the beginning of March and left last week. He was a big help, a good influence on kids (including our own) and a great person to be around.
Daniel helped with the soccer teams at QCS. Richard has been coaching the boys' U15 and U19 teams (basically, high school and middle school), and the other Dads who were helping couldn't continue past the beginning of the season.
He also helped us when we did a special program for "Jehu's Boys," a boys' home for orphans. Richard, Daniel and Ricky held a soccer clinic for the older boys. He shared his testimony and a great, heartfelt message (with interpretation) with the boys about having an accountability partner.
Daniel helped Richard rearrange soccer equipment to make it more accessible. He has such a great attitude, being willing to help with all kinds of things. And, even though he came from Colorado where there is almost no humidity, he didn't complain about the high humidity here.
