A Morning of Football
This morning, Luke and I assisted Great Commission Baptist Church with outreach. Some of the group went from house to house, while Caleb and I decided to play a little Zambian “Football”—a.k.a. Soccer. When we showed up, Luke was sharing the gospel with about 10 kids who had shown up to play. When he finished, we picked teams and then began playing. We then played for the next 2 hours. It’s amazing just how many children there are here in Zambia. By the time we were nearing completion, we had grown from 10 to about 25 kids. They just kept coming from everywhere. Before leaving for the day, we took the time to share with the new children and to pray for some of them. This should be a regular Saturday event. So, please pray for us and this ministry. Pray that we can train some of the members of Great Commission to continue with this type of outreach. With over half of the population here being 16 years old or younger, it is extremely important for the churches here to reach these children with the gospel.
