Today was the first day running a sport camp at RA Padayachee. It was an interesting experience. I had put quite a bit of time into thinking up drills and different games for the kids to play, but when it was all said and done, simplicity is what kept their attention the best. Just a straight forward game of soccer with goalies and regular positions is what they seemed to enjoy and what kept their attention. The kids were really receptive and I feel that this has the opportunity for a great outreach. The numbers were small today with about 20 kids, but I would much rather have a personal impact on just a few lives then none at all. I think the key at this point is to be flexible with the whole process, since there really is no structure for after school activities at this school. This week the focus is going to be on getting to know the kids personally, and then within the next week or two begin to introduce the Gospel during the after school time period. Altogether, I will be excited to see what the next day at RA Padayachee is going to bring.
