Just Hanging Out

Gauteng Future Champions International under 17 Tournament

We had the opportunity to just spend a day with some friends from Snake Park. We decided to hang out watching soccer at Rand Stadium in Soweto. The team in black is DC United from the States. We had a good time cheering for USA who beat the Mumbai Challengers from India. But Argentina were the eventual Champions beating Tunisia in the final.


Sibongile has truly become such a good friend of mine. I'm so thankful to be a part of her life and have the opportunity to see her grow and mature in her walk with the Lord. Praise God!


Football Friday calls for South Africans to wear a football shirt every Friday up until, and even throughout the 2010 FIFA World Cup.  All South Africans are encouraged to "play for Team South Africa" by participating in Football Fridays. Hamba Bafana Bafana!


It is such a blessing to spend time with brothers and sisters in Christ, especially from different cultures and backgrounds. We really enjoyed each other's company. We had fun joking around, singing, dancing, watching soccer and even having deep conversations about God and relationships. I am so thankful for the relationships God has given me here in South Africa!

Sibongile (far left) and Zakele (far right) attend Faith Baptist Church in Snake Park. Philani (middle) goes to another church but assists Zach with soccer in the schools. And the newest addition to our team, Nick will also be helping with soccer for the next four months.


Please pray for Sibongile, Zakele and Philani; that they would stand firm in the Lord.

"be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God."  
Colossians 1:9-10
