Ke Nako. It's Time. To welcome the world to South Africa.
The International World Changers including high school and college aged students from America have come for two weeks to do soccer ministry during the World Cup. They hold Soccer Clinics in the morning followed by Bible Clubs in the afternoon.
Students start by kicking around a few soccer balls on a dirt field. Before you know it, over 150 children come from the streets to see what is going on. The World Changers are sure to share Bible stories with the children and share with them the hope they can have in Christ.
Children in Soweto just want to be acknowledged and loved. They easily build relationships with the World Changers.
All of this could not be possible with out our Soweto friends who help with crowd control and translation. They work so well with the children. I enjoy serving alongside of them!
In Snake Park, we rented out the community hall in order to show the opening match between South Africa and Mexico on a big screen. We had a pretty good turn out and were able to pass out tracks to those who attended.
I was so excited to see one of my girls from Obed Messiane Primary School. Noxolo is one of the girls that I have gotten to know while just hanging out at the school even though we have not been able to have Girls Club every week.
This video is in the community hall after the first goal scored in the 2010 World Cup by Bafana Bafana, South Africa's football team. You just had to be there to feel the excitement in the air!
