Monday morning - the start of our soccer clinic
Monday was our first day for the soccer clinic. It went so well! We had about 35 players and a bunch of spectators. Today we worked on foot skills and played games that implementing the skills we taught them. We also ended the clinic today with a scrimmage. The girls and us had so much fun! They are great and we are starting to really know their names and them ours. Tim also brought a cooler of water for us and the girls. Although we weren’t able to give them a lot of water they really appreciated the water that they did receive as they normally don’t get water. We took about 45 minutes to talk with them and share a bible verse with them and told them that when they are on God's team - they are always winners. Thank you for your continual prayers and support. We look forward to sharing in more detail everything that has been happening. We love you all and see you in a week!

Just as Jesus was given a cup of water, a simple act of sharing water with the Ugandan children can open their hearts to be receptive to the gospel. May we all appreciate our water that we take for granted in the US. Look up Matthew 10:42.
Glad all is going well - and you are building relationships with the children. God will bless your ministry and will change your lives in the process! To God be the Glory!!
Love, The Anderson's
Sounds like you guys are having a great time and doing great things over there. Glad to hear it :) Keep up all of your hard work...we are all keeping you in our prayers!
Coach, that meal makes crab legs sound appetizing! I hope you'll be brave next time!
Thanks for the great updates! You are Christ to these wonderful people, but they are also Christ to you! Learn from them. Be encouraged by their faith. Allow them to teach you, even in their need. I was reminded of this great song by Michael Card - Distressing Disguise
"He is in the pain, He is in the need,
He is in the poor, we are told to feed,
Though He was rich, for us He became poor,
How could He give so much, what was it for?
Every time a faithful servant serves a brother that's in need,
What happens at that moment is a miracle indeed.
As they look to one another in an instant it is clear,
Only Jesus is visible for they've both disappeared
He is in the hand that reaches out to give,
He is in the touch that causes men to live,
So speak with your life now as well as your tongue.
Shelter the homeless, take care of the young
In His distressing disguise
He hopes that we'll realize
That when we take care of the poorest of them.
We've really done it to Him."
Sending much love and prayers, Susie Layton
