Today was our first full day in the beautiful Cape Town, South Africa! We woke up to amazing, sunny weather and a wonderful breakfast. Following breakfast, we had devos with Coach and orientation with Roberto, our host, where he talked a lot about the mission statement and vision of Ambassadors Football, the organization we are teaming up with. Most of the day was spent hanging out at the church and spending time together, laughing and sharing stories. Later in the day, we were able to meet up with Ben, the director of Ambassadors South Africa, at a local elementary school where we helped coach some very energetic and cute little kids. The thing that's cool about Ambassadors is that it strives to teach people not only about soccer, but the character of Jesus and how that can be shown through the game. Today, the kids learned about 1 Corinthians 13 and what it looks like to love like Jesus, on and off the field. Although it was a short and simple message directed towards the kids, it really impacted our team and was a great reminder that our words and actions can really show people the love Jesus has for us. We ended our day with a small detour to watch the beautiful sunset over Table Mountain :) Our God is so amazing!
