We hope to motivate others to conquer 
      their own fears by either training towards a triathlon goal or, even more 
      challenging, standing up for their beliefs when pressured to succumb.  
      Most of all, we encourage others to PERSEVERE.  Philippians 3:14 says 
      for us to "Press on towards the 
      prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus"
      Sometimes finishing a challenge seems like relief and 
      fulfillment. But we know gratification should come from how we play the 
      game. The ups and downs of the race course are where our strong points 
      shine and our weaknesses haunt us. Like in life, we are not focused on 
      ending it but on cresting each trialing hill as fast and honorably as we 
      can. The higher the hill, the more glorious the summit. By climbing with 
      Jesus at our side, the hill is never too high. The 
      satisfaction gets better throughout the race.
      Team Soares is an invitation to 
      everyone to team up with each other and put God at the center.  Shine 
      on.  Press on.  Know that the "climbs" are not futile but, 
      rather, meaningful and rewarding.
      Our goal is that we and others will persevere 
      through all struggles in our careers, marriages, families, and just 
      day-to-day events.  If it's something that pleases God, it CAN be 
      achieved with His help.  We must not quit.. but
      PERSEVERE
