Worlds Collide

A few weeks back Chris and I hosted a soccer game where our two worlds collided together.  Chris is the Logos boys soccer coach and I work in the village of Prek Pneu (which I am sure the vast majority of you already know this).  It turned out to be one the most fun events we have been a part of in our over 2 years in Cambodia.

A few months back the Khmer church contacted Chris to see if we could host a soccer game of the Logos team vs. the Prek Pneu church.  He agreed enthusiastically.  The event was actually an outreach for the Khmer church to get to know the men in the community more and be able to invite them to church.

Needless to say, the Logos team dominated, I don't know if it was that they are all 15 years old and substantially more fit, agile, and fast, or because Chris is such a good coach.  You can decide...

Chris and I even had an epic showing of a husband and wife, assist and goal combo to end the game.  The crowd went wild.  Really, I don't we have ever been cheered on that much.

We are blessed to play in games like these.  Games when teenage boys learn about their role in church growth, and games when small house churches find ways to build relationships.
