CCI LA/Honduras held an event called: The Family that Plays together, Stays Together, a modified Expo Games for Families and here are some testimonies:
Testimony from Kenia Riera:"Sept. 27, 2008 will remain recorded in our memory because we attended one of the most gratifying experiences of our lives as a family: Family Expo-Games. For me it was deeply satisfying to play with my kids as well as see other families running, jumping and hugging. This activity was conceived of by Lisa Anderson-Umana, Director of Leadership Development in Christian Camping International and Mrs. Osberg, Director of Family Life at the Academy Los Pinares (Pine Forest Academy). Lisa utilized the tools CCI generously shares with other ministries like the Games Encyclopedia and 15 specially trained CCI facilitators."
Hena Moreno:
"Our girls succeeded in getting the entire family to play together for the following three days after the event. My husband and I have referred to the covenant we all signed together to remind us to keep our weekly commitment to play together."
Mayra de Lean (Family Lean-Maradiaga):
"Thank you so much Lisa. You have no idea how much this event has united us as a family. We are so pleased that we all made the decision to attend. We hope the school repeats this experience next year in 2009 because it was very beneficial and necessary. We live a very busy life with so much work but let me tell you that we have played together at home and we have had a ball. My twelve-year old son reminds us regularly of the Covenant we signed to play together regularly.
The video clip is excellent, how creative! Thank you and your team once again for all the Pinares Families.

Thanks Lisa, I am wondering why we didn't have that kind of program in my day. Great, keep it up. Love, John
It was good hearing from you through your newsletter and note. I am still praying
for you and Alfredo daily. Although I may never make it back to Honduras again
(since we are no longer in the same state as North Way!), when I pray every morning,
I pray for you and Alfredo and your ministries (I think of Alfredo's consulting
business as a ministry, too). Lately (I don't know why) I've been praying that the
Lord extend your borders, like the Prayer of Jabez, and that the Lord prosper your
ministries and give you wisdom with your beautiful children. I will be glad to add
any other prayer requests!
In Christ's Love,
Jan Fink
