Wrapping Up - Monday

Today is our last full day in Swaziland. It will be a team day. We have to sort through all of the equipment we brought with us that we will be leaving behind with Teen Challenge so that they can hold future soccer camps and tournaments at Hawane CLC. The leadership here was impressed with a program that combined Bible teaching with sports. Their goal is to organize at least a couple of camps for the coming year. It was helpful for them to see how to organize a camp. They realized it requires a lot of manpower and preparation time. We are confident that they will be able to replicate the model.

We will also be leaving rice meals behind for distribution to the community when Pastor Stan and Pastor Rich arrive in February.

We will end our day at the Ward's home where we will share a simple meal with Kevin and Helen, Pastor Augustine and Elizabeth, Pastor Wafuka and Lilly and Pastor Tim and Tcincle. We look forward to a time of fellowship and prayer.

In between, we will be tourists as we visit some of the local shops in order to pick up remembrances of our time here. We realize, however, that nothing that we purchase here will have has much meaning to us as the memories of the children whose lives were touched by our being here.
