Packers Players Visit Africa On Missionary Trip - BIG 12 Sports News Story - WISN Milwaukee

Green Bay Packers defensive end Aaron Kampman, who was recently ordained as a minister, and teammate Donald Driver went on a missionary trip to Nairobi, Kenya during the off-season.

Kampman said he gave a soccer ball to the headmaster.

“I pulled the soccer ball out. We walked to the head master. All the kids from across the field saw the soccer ball. I'll never forget, it was such a joyous sight,” Kampman said. “All these kids come sprinting out of the classroom -- they come running across and jumping up and so excited because they had a real soccer ball.”

He donated a whole soccer ball? wow!

I forgot, he probably saved a thousand souls from eternal damnation.

The ball could have been the first of several.

Aaron Kampman's character is beyond reproach. Earlier this year, his hometown in Iowa was severely damaged by a tornado. He went back to help in the recovery efforts.

I would hope his charitable works are more than a ball; you think he could send me a dozen? then again the kids I'm coaching during the week would not qualify as needy...
