INVITATION to Wild Hope's 1st Annual Golf Tournament in Glendale, CA!


Wild Hope is putting on its 1st Annual Golf Tournament in Glendale, CA on Friday, May 14th to raise money for Nyota Youth Sports and Community Service Centre. Peter Russell and Byron Borden will be present from Tanzania, though they don't expect to impress you with their golfing! If you, or anyone you know, would like to participate in the golf tournament, download the registration pdf here (http://bit.ly/a0sZuH)!

Here is some more information on Nyota and the golf tournament from the pdf:

Unga is a ramshackled neighborhood in Tanzania, consisting of mud houses and trash-strewn streets. Poor education, high HIV rates, massive unemployment and lack of basic mentoring are rampant. In this community of 10,000 residents, the deck is stacked against young boys and girls succeeding, let alone making it safely to adulthood. This is where the Nyota Youth Sports and Community Service Center (NYSAC) is located and has become one of Wild Hope’s thriving ministries.

“Sports has the power to inspire, the power to unite people
in a way that little else can.” - Nelson Mandela

Nyota means, “star” in Swahili and it is NYSAC’s goal to prepare young people to be stars not only in “football” but also in life. Currently there are over 100 young men (8 to 20 years old) in the growing soccer academy. Sports-based character development, essential life skills training, community service projects, English language camps, scholarship funds and opportunities to discover Jesus inspires these kids to stay in school and most importantly provides hope for the next generation! All proceeds from this event will benefit Wild Hope International’s Nyota Youth Sports and Community Service Center. Thank you once again for your prayers and generosity!
