Last weekend we had everyone here at our house for a team retreat! The purpose of our retreat was to build team unity and vision for the summer. We had fun together, spent time in prayer, and set goals for the summer.
One of the highlights was having our neighbor, who is a rugby coach from New Zealand, meet us at Holliday Park for some lessons. :) Rugby is a sport foreign to many Americans but is common to South Africans. We decided to put our skills to the test...we were terrible but had a lot of fun learning!
Here you can see Chad catching on quickly and Evie reffing the game!
Learning the basics
Afterwards we ordered pizza and watched Invictus at a friend's "movie theatre" in their home. The movie was a chance to relax and an opportunity to learn about SouthAfrica, rugby, Nelson Mandela, and the apartheid.
We leave in only 2 weeks! As Chad was putting Evie to bed tonight I overheard her asking him if we were leaving for South Africa in the morning. :) She's ready to go!
Would you join us in praying through these four things with us?
1. That we would enjoy Jesus daily (Ps 63:3)
2. That God would raise-up lifelong laborers (Matt 9:36)
3. That we would grow in team unity (Heb 10:24-25)
4. That we would grow in personal and world vision (Psalm 67:4)
