February Update

Things have really been cranking up for Ubuntu Sports Outreach. After our series of successful clinics at the beginning of the school year momentum is building. We have been busy seeking firm, long-term commitments from the schools we have been working in. We want them to commit to our program of providing them well-trained coaching mentors. We are also spending much of our time connecting with the local churches that will provide our coaches. We’ve had great meetings with pastors and people are very excited. Now the challenge is finding the right men from within those churches. I have had the opportunity to speak at a few churches to share the excitement. These pastors lead churches that are passionate about reaching the kids in their community, which is exactly what we want to see.

We are also excited to see some opportunities opening up to expand into other areas. The Muizenberg area, also a Living Hope area, has 4 schools that we are meeting with. They seem keen to partner with us, too, which means more churches to find! So, pray that God would be raising up the right churches and the men to coach.
