"They Told Me That I Could Have Become Paralyzed"  

Here's another story from Kaka about living out his childhood dream

"When I was eight, I moved to Sao Paulo, Brazil (from Cuiaba, Brazil), where I began to play soccer (football). 

 

"I played on the junior team for Sao Paulo in 2000. We were in the middle of the Paulista Junior Championships when I received a yellow card. I was suspended for the following game, so I took advantage of the free weekend. My brother, my parents, my grandparents and I went to a water park. 

 

"As I was coming down one of the slides into the pool, I hit my head on the bottom of the pool, and my neck snapped." Read more.

I became a Christian at the ripe young age of four. As my mom tells the story, after watching a Christian kids' TV show, I asked her if I was going to heaven. She told me how Jesus came to save us and to bring us to God. I asked Jesus into my heart, and ever since then I have been a Christian.

 

With this young faith, I sometimes doubted if my salvation was for real because I couldn't really remember my 'moment' of salvation." Read more. 

Your fellow students and family members who are competing on our international teams this year want to tell you how their trips are going, and many are posting blogs and video updates daily. Teams are posting now!
