On Monday, we ended our coaching training. We spent Wednesday through Monday developing 11 Play For Hope coaches in sports ministry. It is an amazing thing to see people catching the vision of using sports as a vehicle to minister the love and hope of Jesus Christ to children. Monday afternoon after we concluded training, the American team was able to go visit a football (soccer) team that we trained twice a week last summer. I could barely recognize the boys! Last year, all of them lived on the streets, looked unhealthy, and always wore the same clothes. Now, they live in houses they are renting together, looked healthier, and were wearing nicer clothing. Also, some of them have learned some English and I was able to have a conversation with them without a translator for the first time. They were very happy to see that I had returned and I was ever more happy to see fruitfulness of their hope in Christ. The time spent with these boys of Busanza (a district of Kigali) was definitely a high moment of the tripI apologize for not posting photos of the coaching training or time spent with kids. I have experienced difficulties posting photos due to slower internet connection in Rwanda and will probably have to wait until my return to America before posting visuals. I return to North Carolina the evening of the 22nd. |
