View This Email in Your Browser View this email in your browser Hi Everyone! I hope all is going great for you this summer. We're having a great summer so far at Christian Sports International. On July 8th we were invited to be a part of the first ever Faith and Family Night with the local minor league baseball team Washington Wild Things. The ball club really stepped it up to make it a great event too. They had the Christian band Red Letter Hymnal preform before the game, and K-Love played music for each player as they walked to the plate to bat. After the game several players gave their testimony to the audience and talked about how their faith in Christ helps them in sport and life. I got to meet many great people as they came to the CSI table to find out more about our ministry. We gave out a lot of CSI wristbands and tattoos to the kids too. It truly was a blessed day! The next Faith and Family event CSI will be a part of will be on August 1, with the Pittsburgh Riverhounds professional soccer team. This will be another great evening full of sharing about faith and ministry. If some of you might be looking for something to do that evening, maybe I'll see you there. The Riverhounds have been red hot as of late so it should be a great game too! Discounted tickets can be purchased at https://groupmatics.events/event/CSI2018 Our 2018 Summer sports programs are going great! God is doing awesome things through our sports camps. From the beginning of June to date, forty-one kids have made decisions for Jesus Christ! Some were first time commitments and some were re-dedications, but all of them wanted the hope that faith in Christ gives all of us. Praise God! Please say a prayer for these kids as they start a new journey of faith, hope, and love. And our summer's not done yet! During the last week of July we have a baseball/softball program in the North Side of inner city Pittsburgh, and we have a one-day clinic for inner city high school baseball players with Pittsburgh Pirates coach Dave Jauss. Please pray for these upcoming camps and clinics, that the Gospel Message will be presented and received through the Holy Spirit. A CSI Evening with former Pittsburgh Steeler Jon Kolb If you are receiving this email newsletter and have been considering supporting the ministry work of Christian Sports International, we are hosting a one hour CSI Educational Evening with Jon Kolb to answer any questions or comments you may have. It will be on Thursday, August 16, at the Double Tree by Hilton in Cranberry, PA. It begins at 6:30 with light snacks and refreshments. Jon Kolb, a 4X Super Bowl Champion with the Pittsburgh Steelers, was one of the hardest hitting, toughest players to ever play the game of football. As strong and tough as he was, and still is, Jon is a kind, gentle, and humble man with a great heart and passion for God. Jon has also been an integral part of Christian Sports International. He has led many youth camps for us and helped us develop our All In Men ministry. Kolb, along with CSI president Scott Grinder, will be discussing the ministry of Christian Sports International and the amazing impact we have had in the lives of the youth over the last 28 years. Please, please, consider coming to this event to at least learn more about our purpose and mission, and possibly joining us in outreach ministry through support. You can email me by July 30, at [email protected] to RSVP your spot. I truly and deeply appreciate it! Christian Sports International website Did you know we recently redesigned our website? Check it out at www.teamcsi.org. We have some great videos, fun pictures, and detailed information about our sports programs and special events coming up this summer.

  • 2019 State of Downtown Pittsburgh
    20 STATE OF DOWNTOWN PITTSBURGH19 TABLE OF CONTENTS For the past eight years, the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership has been pleased to produce the State of Downtown Pittsburgh Report. This annual compilation and data analysis allows us to benchmark our progress, both year over year and in comparison to peer cities. In this year’s report, several significant trends came to light helping us identify unmet needs and better understand opportunities for developing programs and initiatives in direct response to those challenges. Although improvements to the built environment are evident in nearly every corridor of the Golden Triangle, significant resources are also being channeled into office property interiors to meet the demands of 21st century companies and attract a talented workforce to Pittsburgh’s urban core. More than $300M has been invested in Downtown’s commercial office stock over the 4 ACCOLADES AND BY THE NUMBERS last five years – a successful strategy drawing new tenants to Downtown and ensuring that our iconic buildings will continue to accommodate expanding businesses and emerging start-ups. OFFICE, EMPLOYMENT AND EDUCATION Downtown experienced a 31% growth in residential population over the last ten years, a trend that will continue with the opening 6 of hundreds of new units over the next couple of years. Businesses, from small boutiques to Fortune 500 companies, continued to invest in the Golden Triangle in 2018 while Downtown welcomed a record number of visitors and new residents. HOUSING AND POPULATION 12 Development in Downtown is evolving and all of these investments combine to drive the economic vitality of the city, making Downtown’s thriving renaissance even more robust.

  • 1.) What Was the Original Name of the Pittsburgh Steelers? B. the Pirates
    1.) What was the original name of the Pittsburgh Steelers? B. The Pirates The Pittsburgh football franchise was founded by Art Rooney on July 7, 1933. When he chose the name for his team, he followed the customary practice around the National Football League of naming the football team the same as the baseball team if there was already a baseball team established in the city. So the professional football team was originally called the Pittsburgh Pirates. 2.) How many Pittsburgh Steelers have had their picture on a Wheaties Box? C. 13 Since Wheaties boxes have started featuring professional athletes and other famous people, 13 Steelers have had their pictures on the box. These players are Kevin Greene, Greg Lloyd, Neil O'Donnell, Yancey Thigpen, Bam Morris, Franco Harris, Joe Greene, Terry Bradshaw, Barry Foster, Merril Hoge, Carnell Lake, Bobby Layne, and Rod Woodson. 3.) How did sportscaster Curt Gowdy refer to the Immaculate Reception, which happened two days before Christmas? Watch video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMuUBZ_DAeM A. The Miracle of All Miracles “You talk about Christmas miracles. Here's the miracle of all miracles. Watch this one now. Bradshaw is lucky to even get rid of the ball! He shoots it out.

And the big 230-pound rookie slipped away from Warren and scored.” —Sportscaster Curt Gowdy, describing an instant replay of the play on NBC 4.)
