Play For Hope

We had an unbelievable time working with Andrew Palau and Hope Rwanda in serving the city of Kigali.  We were part of a two day festival at the national stadium that was a culmination of over 350 churches serving their city for 100 days (overlapping the 100 days of genocide morning).  Each day of the festival we put on sports games and clinics for approximately 3,000 children inside the national stadium.

The kids favorite game was taking turns shooting on the goal in the national stadium just like Drogba did a month before.

A lot of people watched our clinic.

At the same time there was a skate and bmx demo that the crowd was stoked on.

I had the awesome chance to announce our tournament winners to 20,000 new friends.

At night there were musical performances that the crowd danced and sang with.

Both nights finalized in Andrew Palau preaching about the love of Jesus Christ.  Many people for the first time in their lives experienced such love.  It is estimated that over two days 75,000 people came.  This does not include the many, many people touched by water projects, road projects, housing projects for widows of the genocide, projects for HIV+ children, medical clinics that were given to the poorest of the poor in Kigali, and many other projects.   It was an incredible event to be a part of.
