A little over a week ago, about 25 people came to an initial meeting to hear plans about next summer’s World Cup soccer outreach to South Africa. Having led outreaches to five World Cups in the 1980’s and 1990’s, I am particularly looking forward to next year’s outreach.  It’s been over 10 years now since we lived in South Africa.  Since Richie plays soccer on his school’s varsity team, it will be especially meaningful for me to co-lead an outreach with Richie and his high school friends. We will stay at YWAM’s South Africa national office in Worcester, about 40 miles north of Cape Town and we will share more about this over the next year.

 

Speaking of South Africa, our MercyWorks team has been faithfully praying for her neighbor to the north, Zimbabwe. Under Robert Mugabe, this nation has spiraled down into unimaginable depths.  We hope to send a team soon to Zimbabwe, once security concerns have been addressed.
