Jerseys for Joy

Our team will be delivering soccer jerseys to the many children we'll be meeting in Malawi. How did we get these jerseys? It's all because of one woman's vision to make a difference with a very simple idea to collect jerseys from schools kids in Orange County. Here's a message from our friend, Jenn:

Jerseys for Joy: A Priceless Endeavor
One idea, two collection days, and a few emails later, we have a gift for Malawi kids that is 130 times better than when we first began. Jerseys for Joy was a simple idea that didn't cost a cent but became a priceless endeavor. Our family's idea to donate our daughter's "retired" soccer jersey to our sponsor child in Nkhoma, Malawi, turned into a collaboration with kids from Newsong, Costa Mesa Vineyard, Crossroads Community Church, Rock Harbor South County, and a soccer commissioner for AYSO. We collected 130 gently used and new soccer jerseys, but more importantly have forged and strengthened relationships between believing communities throughout Orange County. It was not only a great opportunity to share our possessions but also to allow our kids to talk about world view with friends and classmates in a non-religious setting. This was, indeed, an opportunity to unleash beauty.


Thank you, Jenn!
