IN ADYGEA


HEY FALCONS! BEEN A WHILE SINCE I CHECKED IN AND FOR GOOD REASON. I'M NOW IN SOUTHERN RUSSIA IN WHAT IS KNOWN AS THE CAUCUSES. OF COURSE, YOU KNOW THIS REGION BECAUSE YOU'RE HOME SCHOOLERS FOR THE MOST PART AND GOOD IN GEOGRAPHY. IT IS THE REGION CALLED THE REPUBLIC OF "ADYGEA". IT IS MOSTLY MUSLIM IN THIS REGION AND WILL BE THE SITE OF THE 2014 SUMMER OLYMPICS.
I'M HERE ON A FACT FINDING MISSION TO SEE ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF PARTNERING TOGETHER WITH ANOTHER MISSIONARY HERE TO BEGIN A WORK WITH THE ADYGEAN PEOPLE. THERE ARE 130,000 ADYGEAN NATIONALS AND LESS THAN 1% OF THEM HAVE EVER HEARD ABOUT JESUS AND HOW TO COME TO KNOW HIM AS SAVIOUR. THE PICTURES AT THE BOTTOM ARE OF A YOUNG MUSLIM LADY WHO JUST BECAME A CHRIST FOLLOWER SATURDAY NIGHT. I'LL TELL YOU HER STORY IN ANOTHER BLOG. HER NAME IS ANGELA.
I APPRECIATE YOUR PRAYERS AS I SPEND TIME GETTING TO KNOW THIS REGION. IT IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT WORK. I'LL BE CHECKING IN MORE REGULARLY NOW, SO WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU.


CONGRATS TO THE THE VARSITY ON A REALY GOOD REGULAR SEASON AND MAKING IT INTO THE PLAYOFFS. ALWAYS WISH YOU COULD WIN IT ALL, BUT IT'S MOST IMPORTATANT TO HAVE DONE YOUR BEST AND TO TAKE WITH YOU GREAT LESSONS FOR LIFE AND HOW TO BETTER WALK IN GOD'S KINGDOM.

I KNOW YA'LL ARE GETTING READY FOR FLORIDA. ENJOY! IT IS RIGHT AT THE FREEZING MARK HERE DAILY. BUT WE HAVE SUNSHINE. PRAISE THE LORD.


GOD'S BLESSINGS. REMEMBER, IF YOU HONOR GOD, HE WILL HONOR YOU. ROOTING FOR YOU FROM ADYGEA, IN SOUTHERN RUSSIA.

Hi Coach,
Good to year from you again. Stay warm while you teach others about the warm love of Jesus!

Below is highlights from game on Saturday. It was definitely a heartbreaker, but there are more games ahead! Lots is injuries. Gabe broke his leg, Zach Walsh broke his collar bone, Mark Dunn did damage to his thumb and Ben Keeling has some shoulder damage that we hope clears up in the next two weeks. Can ya tape up a shoulder? Gotta have 'em in Florida! :)

The Knights and the Falcons played last weekend with the Falcons winning 24-21, but the Knights turned the tables this week and beat the Falcons. The Knights fell behind early when Tim Howard connected with Robert Davis on a 13 yard TD reception to give the Falcons a 6 to 0 lead. The Falcons recovered a fumble, then scored on a 11 yard run by Tim Howard that made the score 12-0. Before the end of the first quarter, Crown scored on a Rob Schuler to Brandon Apon 14 yard TD pass. Tony Wood added the extra point to make the score Falcons 12 Knights 7. In the second quarter, Schuler connected with Fritz Stepat on a flair pass and Stepat took it 33 yards for a touchdown. The extra point was good and Crown had the lead 14 to 12. With 3:14 before the half, Rob Schuler again connected with Fritz Stepat this time on a 11 yard TD pass. Wood added the extra point and Crown had a 20-12 lead. Both teams moved the ball, but were unable to score as the defense was able to thwart several drives from both teams. One drive had the Falcons on the 1 yard line, but they were unable to score. Finally late in the 4th quarter Crown was able to score as Fritz Stepat took it in from 2 yards out to make the final score 27 to 12.
