Members of the men's soccer team shared that they felt like they grew more as brothers in Christ while in Chile. Chile is not only a life changing trip for those that our athletes come in contact with, but it's a life changing trip for our students here too! Teams grew in skill, grew closer as brothers and sisters in Christ, and the testimonies of each player were strengthened in a way that they never imagined.
