Hey soccer fans. In 1986, Querétaro hosted the World Cup. A team from Germany was one of the teams to play in it. During their time here, they became sponsors to an Orphanage that cares for infants. Pan de Vida wasn't in existence at that time.
Later in years, Pan de Vida moved from a couple of different locations. The team actually paid for and donated 2/3 of the land of the existing site so Pan de Vida could grow and minister at a deeper level to the children God had chosen for this place. It was about the time that the girls dorm was being built that they became more involved at a personal level. Over the years they have helped in different areas of building projects.
Recently they were in Mexico for exhibition games to raise money for the infants home. Also a large portion will also be donated to Pan de Vida as well. It will go into the school scholarship fund so that the kids who graduate can have more opportunity to upgrade their education and skills. It is so exciting for the kids.
Soccer is a huge sport and the players are basically famous people to them. While they were here, they hosted Pan de Vida to a meal prepared by some of the volunteers. Since they are here for the exhibition games, there was media and cameras covering their visits. An exciting day all around. They also donated lots of soccer items to the kids, including small banners, wind pants, jerseys etc. The kids absolutely treasure these items.
After their time at Pan de Vida, the team took about 30 of the older kids a bit south of Querétaro so they could actually watch one of the games. It amazes me how God brings people from Germany to minister with people from the United States and Canada for the children of Mexico. God is so good and does not discriminate. He works all things to the good!!!
