What we Hope

I took this picture last Sunday at the Cape Town International Convention Center (CTICC) where we go to Hillsong Church Cape Town.

This is what we hope is a byproduct of the outreach of Ubuntu Sports, to be a wound healer in hearts, families, and communities. We know the power of a mentor, raised self-esteem, and a relationship with Jesus. This will transform kids, families, and communities; and consequently heal a lot of wounds. Pray that God would give us the opportunity.

World Cup Recap

This is way overdue, but its time for our World Cup recap.

We had a great program going on in Ocean View at the turf field that we were given permission to use by the city. We met for a total of 6 sessions working on different skills each time. Our main content came by using words that were being used a lot during the World Cup to talk about Jesus. Here is a sampling:

Ke Nako= it's time, it's Africa's time; GOOD NEWS

Used it to talk about the Good News of Jesus coming to live among us

Waka, Waka= joyful, full of life

Talked specifically about John 10:10, that Jesus came to give us life & life abundantly.

Ayoba= amazement

Used it to talk about some of the miracles of God.

Jabulani= to celebrate

We talked this day about us celebrating the things God is doing in our lives.

It was a great way to put the truths of Jesus into a context that they were being bombarded with. Hopefully, as they continued to hear those terms they connected them with Christ.

These pics are from the Jabulani day. We worked on shooting that day, and if they scored they had to celebrate!

Alright so a lot has happened with Ubuntu since our last post, but lets get everyone updated. The new volunteers, Ben # 1, Ben # 2, and Antony have become familiar with the dynamics of our ministry. Their special gifts and qualities have been an asset to the ministry of Ubuntu. So far we have been running soccer practices with different schools. We have had practices with the primary schools from Simons Town, Kleinburg, and Capricorn. Also since then the World Cup has taken off and we have incorporated that into our ministry. In the past couple of weeks we have had soccer clinics in Ocean View. Each practice we have focused on a particular skill linked with a popular soccer term. Also the Edward brothers from Raleigh visited helping us with our ministry. The first practice we had comprised of short passing and the word we used was Ke Nako (Which means "its time" or "the good news"). We talked about the the gospels and how Jesus is the good news who has come to save his people. The next clinic we focused on Long passing and used the word Ayoba (which means "amazing). We discussed how Jesus preformed amazing miracles like raising Lazarus from the dead. The third clinic we focused on ball handling and talked about Waka Waka (the hit Shakira song which means "full of life"). We discussed how Jesus came to give us life and have to the fullest. The most recent clinic we focused on shooting and linked up with the word Jabulani (Which means "celebration"). This was fun day because after the kids would score goals we would have them preform their best celebration dances. We also talked about palm sunday and how the people in Jerusalem waved palmed branches to celebrate the coming of Jesus. We also continue to hangout with the kids in Ocean View, take them to McDonald's, play games, and just laugh with them. Also we had a bible study with kyle, reagan, and kaka today which went really well. We will have another clinic tomorrow and talked about the word "Ubuntu," a familiar word to most of us. But for now tune in with us next time as we discuss more of our exciting adventures happening in SA!

Kicking Crime

Our friends, Ambassadors In Sport, have a program called the Hope Academy here in a prison in South Africa. They were highlighted last night on ABC News Nightline. Check it out, it's a great story, and they are great friends. Cheers, Casey
