This is taking up much of our life nowadays as we continue to see that God's plans are bigger than our own. You may recall that our mission experience was with YWAM (youth with a mission). Well CWAM is a separate organization that we have started in the US to "introduce the needs of business to the needs of missions". We find that business needs Heart & Purpose while missions need Resources and Money. Each has what the other needs!
So our initial focus has been to help Business Leaders take mission trips with their families. We find literally hundreds of folks saying "I've always wanted to take a mission trip with my family". We provide a turnkey mission experience for these folks. Lotsa fun!
Anyway, God opened a door for CWAM to sponsor the official Super Bowl Breakfast the day before the big game here in our hometown, Indianapolis! It was amazing, over 2,000 attendees. The SB targets the same Business Decision Makers that we wish to target with CWAM :-)
It was an amazing event. London Fletcher a 14 year veteran Defensive player for the Washington
Redskins was awarded the NFL Man of the Year Award at the breakfast. He
started a ministry called London Bridge to help at risk youth bridge the
gaps in their lives. The NFL Man of the year is one of only two awards
voted on by the players themselves.
Bart Starr an absolutely amazing human being presented London with his award.
Bart Starr has single-handedly made this breakfast the great success it is. This was the 25th anniversary of the breakfast and Bart Starr's been at them all. Bart was the MVP of the first two super bowls that he played in with the Green Bay Packers.
We had the great pleasure of having he and his wife Cherry at our home the night before the breakfast. We were so humbled at these great servants of God and their fellow man.
