You know in the bible how it says every tongue and tribe will be praising together in heaven.... I had a taste the other nightof this mulit-cultural unity when I saw a few sub-cultures coming together and having fun.....and it was good....
have been organising a team of kids from YOS to play indoor cricket in a competition @ the salvos up the road...out first game was last monday....verse the Moonyah Guys, (thats the salvo drug and alcohol rehab centre in brissy).....
one stage when I looked on the court there was, men going through rehab, a guy who was graduating the next night, street kids, kids in transitional housing and salvos all playing together and having good clean fun...and it was at a salvo churches gym...it really felt like a profound moment.....
something that has concerned me for a while was the lack of interaction between salvo churches and salvo social centres....but there is something happening..... and it feels good....
And the kids....what can I sat ....they got thrashed.....but man I am proud of them...they encouraged each other, showed each other technique (and me...who knew i could kinda bowl)....they even made a rule that if they swore on the field they had 50 push-ups.....
a kewl thing too was ....one kids ws walking past YOS before we went to the game, so we asked him if he wanted to play....we through him a shirt he jumped in the van and drove to the game.... he had a blast....then afterwards he said 'my mum lives down the road, I might go home tonight'...this kid was probbaly on his way to find his next shot but instead had some good clean fun and went home....
Jesus thanks for a taste...and thanks for the opportunities I have....I love you
anyone in bris our next game is monday night @ 6pm at stafford corps...we would love the support....
