On our 3rd day of soccer camp here in Belize we worked on shooting drills. Is it ever been HOT! Did I mention it's HOT! Each day we have a short bible devotion w/ the kids half way thru the camp & it was my turn to share. I shared the parable of the Unmerciful servant taken from Matthew 18:21-35. I used my kids & one of the other kids from our team to role play the story for me. It was great! I talked about forgiveness & explained that the only way for them to be forgiven is to have Jesus living in their hearts & that we have to ask Him to forgive us, we can't just expect Him to do it. I gave the invitation to those that didn't know Jesus to come & ask any team member how to receive Him as their forever friend. Immediately after my prayer the kids got back in their groups & one of the 8 yr old girls came up to Bill, a team leader, & grabbed him by the hand & asked him to tell her how to be a follower of Jesus!!!! He led her to Christ right there in the goal!!!! We had others that talked w/another team leader asking lots of questions! We only have 2 days left to share w/them yet! Please continue to pray for these kids & our team!!!!
