We had four board members of the Athletes to Champions organization visiting us this weekend. Thank you so much to Cathy, Brad, Ike, and Todd for taking time away from your families to come and be apart of ours. We were able to hold a press conference after our baseball game last night to announce to the community and our Power Cross family our future plans for building a facility. We are blessed to have partnered with Athletes to Champions on our project. God blessed us last week with their visit and a few big steps being taken towards us moving forward with the project. We still need a huge amount of funding for the building project, and also just to get by day to day. Every dollar counts! If you feel compelled to help just contact us!
We had wonderful speakers at the event including our very own Coach Jeff, and Ausar Rankin. Along with the PC guys we had Todd Fordham overseeing the press event and sharing with the boys about his life. Jordan Gross, and his family drove up from Charlotte to share some inspiration to the boys and the community. Charlie Dayton, the Panther's head of media relations, shared with the boys as well. Brad Hill announced that he and his architecture firm (http://www.schenkelshultz.com) would be donating their design services free of charge. That's over $100,000.00 in design fees. Cathy Parker, the president of Athletes to Champions, shared with the group that Athletes to Champions faced many obstacles when doing Project Alaska. Cathy also shared that their is no limit to what God can do. We can't wait to see what God has in store for Power Cross.
We faced more than our share of trials yesterday in pulling off the Panther's Practice and the Press Event. But very fittingly my Bible Study had this verse in it this morning:
"Since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart."
2nd Corinthians 4:1
Thank you Lord, for allowing this all to be possible!!
Thanks,
Jeff, Nat, and the PC Boys
