Hello everyone!!!

I hope that you all are doing well. I love and miss you guys so very much. Thanks for the continued prayer and encouragement. This week we went to Polokwane to do some training for our upcoming soccer camps. One thing most of us found out that we know nothing about football compared to our new African friend’s lol. The idea about the program we were trained in is to train coaches to be better soccer coaches as well as life coaches. We also did a kids game training where we learned to incorporate experimental learning games to help teach moral and Godly values. It was an intense training but we are all so fortunate to have this as a tool for the summer and in the future. This week we are doing book distribution with a ten day team from Missouri. The team of twenty ladies have all been wonderful to help train and partner with. Today we were able to hand out over three thousand books!!!!! This upcoming week we will be doing a leadership academy. The academy is set up to train young leaders with Godly principles and values as well as equipping them to influence this next generation. The goal of the ministries here are to influence the influencers. Please pray for this incredible people who we will be working with this week and that they would take this training to bring change in their lives, community and country. God is so incredible and one thing that we read during our first week in FL is that missions exist because worship doesn’t. The first time I read it I was thinking wow …. It’s so true that we can so easily be sidetracked from why were here but the truth is God deserves and desires all the nations to worship him and I can’t be thankful enough to be here and be a part of Gods plan for Africa. Please let me know if there is anything I can pray for you. Thank you all!!!

Thank you for continuing to pray ...
