Pills all around....


Just this last Saturday, we were blessed to be visited by two ladies who were distributing pills city wide against parasites and another nasty local disease. The boys were all very hesitant at first but then jumped right in after they saw that it was not a shot.

Question time........


So each week after the big combined game, we choose three boys at random and ask them questions from the previous week for a chance to win a new t-shirt. The week before last we shared the story from when Jesus healed the sick man that was lowered through the roof by his friends. When we asked, "What did Jesus do to the man that was sick?" we got the most interesting response......."Um.....Jesus bowed to the east and prayed 5 times for the man."
I couldn't help but smile since almost all of these boys come from a Muslim background and are around an Islamic teacher all week long. He was trying his hardest to remember from the week before; but was obviously a little nervous in front of all the other kids and simply gave the response that he knew about prayer. At least he tried though.

A SWEET gift!


The previous week, we had a great group of students come and visit the club. They were a great blessing and left the kids a bunch of candy; so this week we divided up all the candy and handed it out to just over 50 boys! They were just a little excited - to say the least.
