It’s been a crazy, beautiful, whirlwind for the last few days! Saturday pastor Gift scheduled a soccer game with the community. Because of donations through Bloom Clothing Co. (www.bloomclothingandapparel.com) we were able to bring full uniforms for Gift’s entire team, including shoes, and over 300 other jerseys, along with a bunch of soccer balls! Watching the guys from the team get excited about the clothing was amazing, most of them have been playing barefooted against other teams with cleats. I realize every time I come here how much I take for granted.
(Innocent and Lucky so proud of their new uniforms!)

Gift has a heart to reach the young men in this community through sport. (Side note, I’m sitting in the grocery store and they are playing our National Anthem, interesting.) Most of the men won’t listen to anything else, but they love playing sports and they will listen to a coach. The hope for this country is in it’s next generation and I love the way that Gift is feeding into that generation through their language, sport!

Today we had the first ever Kidsgames Swaziland! Kidsgames is a sports ministry. I’m running out of time again, so here are some pictures. Also, we got chased by a Giraffe yesterday, I’m not kidding, it was one of the most insane things to ever happen to me! We even have it on video so get ready!
