YOUNG LADY WITH A GOAL – November 5, 2026
by Michael Miller Jr, Missionary, Tegucigalpa, Honduras
We like to send reports of our sponsored children not just about the academics and awards they are winning but to highlight life outside of school.
In the photos below is a young lady named Dana. While she was in elementary school she played girls’ soccer on local teams. A talent scout noticed Dana and in 2026 she started to play for an all-girls soccer team for the country of Honduras. On their shirts is the sponsor Claro (our cable/cell phone provider) who is paying for their uniforms and travel expenses. Dana and her mother both came to us and asked permission if she could play since she has an academic scholarship with the ministry. Usually from past experiences we say no. But with prayer and trial semester we said, “Go ahead.”


Well Dana has proven herself to us and to the country. She is an honor roll student with a mid to high 90 average and in the 7th grade. Also, she is the #1 pick to play goalie and she is amazing. Dana is winning awards for her skill set. This will set herself up to win scholarships when she graduates 12th grade to play soccer full time and study for a university.
Only the Lord knows where she will be in the years ahead. For right now all of us are enjoying her joy in playing and studying.
