School and Soccer

This past week we have been speaking to the school called Itereiling.  It has been real good.  We have had an amazing response.  We have been doing this program that we have put together, with much prayer.  Our theme is 2 Timothy 2:22.  We basically have been going in and telling the kids how to make right decisions using skits, the story of Joseph, and two personal stories.  We really focus on the whole two roads analogy.  We get one of the students to get up and write on the board.  All the other students will give examples of what will be on the wide road, and what will be on the narrow road.  We have had an amazing            response.  It  has been so much fun doing the Lord’s work!  The guidance and counselor has become a good friend of ours.  We usually spend time with him before and after we talk with the students.  Through him we have met many of the other teachers whom have also become good friends.  Skanopo, the guidance and councilor, has become such a good friend that they asked us to be on their soccer team.  The team consist of about 15 people whom are all teachers of some sort for the school.  They play local teams.  Haha its like everyone has a team here in Botswana- the brick company, the grocery store, all the surrounding school staff- its awesome.  Anyways, we are officially on a Botswana soccer team.  We have played two games so far and we have won one and lost one.  I almost scored, well not really, but it was close.  Our second game, which we won, was an away game.  It was an expeiernce just riding with the team to Lotlakanaye for the game which is about 30-40 min away.  I tell you all of this so that you can know that the Lord can do anything.  This door that He has opened for us has created an opportunity to tell these teachers and others about our Lord and the hope in which they can share in with all other believers- and hopefully to get them on fire for the Lord because if they come on fire for the Lord the way they interact with the students will change and the students will be surrounded by teachers and staff who carry the Lord Jesus Christ.  And from this who knows that doors the Lord will open- our Lord is amazing!!
