“Fantastic Friday”

Today began with a tour of the new disk-golf course and the soccer field that is being built. Both were located near the malaria research center. While the soccer field was still being built, it is looking promising that, with a good rainy season, the field will soon be ready for games. After that, we made our way to the main field. We played some of the same games with the kids, and taught them some new games. While that was going on, four of us traveled to the nearby hospital and played with recovering children. The language barrier made it difficult to fully play with them, but their smiles made it all worth the struggle.

In the afternoon, we collected at the rec center to watch some children perform a dance routine. After that, we broke up into stations of gaga, an obstacle course, capture the flag, and shark and minnows/red-light green-light. Following the game, Zach Luman and Jon Mullin gave testimonies to the children, who were then dismissed. Immediately after that, there was a full-out team Zambia volleyball game. The gang then went back to the dorms, showered, and ate dinner. After dinner came “game night”, full of brownies, card games, and pool. It was another successful day of sharing God’s love.
