World Cup and Jesus

About two months ago, while staying over in Windhoek, I met the Namibia Campus Crusade For Christ missionary leader. He and his family are from the UK and great people. He told me that he had a group of 17 Namibian College students coming to the north to do ministry work. So we opened all of the floor space we had in our home and hosted them for an overnight stay.


It was great getting to know these students, how God had changed their lives and saved them from a life of sin. Last night I had them come to our church to give testimonies, lead in worship and share about their ministry to the north. 180 of the youth that I work with each week showed up for the event and it was great. The worship was wonderful and God exalting. They even had three guys who have written a lot of Christian rap.

They then showed an excellent video that highlighted seven football (soccer) players that were in the FIFA World Cup here in Africa and how the Lord changed their lives and how they use their talents in playing football for God's glory.

We then finished the night by watching the World Cup Championship in our church via my video projector, through an old color t.v., and on a bed sheet we tacked up in the front of the church. The youth thought that was the best thing in the world. For one, most do not have t.v.'s to watch the game, but to see it so big made it all the better.



Here are a few pictures from the event.
