This past weekend I had the privledge of leading a team of youth leaders and interns from HPC Swaziland to our sister church in Mozamabique. For many of these young people this was their first experience outside the country. As HPC and Children's Cup we want to see the heart for others (MISSIONS) instilled in these young people. We know they will be much more effective in reaching their generation in Africa than I will ever be. So we invest, train, encourage, and love these young leaders greatly so they will bring Jesus into the middle of all the issues in Africa.
So here is a little recap.
Friday:
It took us a little while to get everything together. Everyone is upbeat and excited. It's a 3 hours road trip from Mbabane, Swaziland to Maputo, Mozambique. Going across the border in Mozambique is always a bit intimidating. Swaziland is so laid back and Mozi is just a little more aggressive about everything.
We have a little KFC (KFC is taking over the world) and then we go off to the sands of Nkobe where HPC Moz is located. The sand is deep so it is like driving in the Baha5000 (which I love). We have a few hours for everyone to get the tour and play with the kids.
We tried to play dodge ball but our team of Swazis learned quickly that communicating cross culturally is very difficult. The kids all jumped on the ball like a Rugby game. Then super man Karl Marx jumped in and taught his great Zimbabwean dance moves. I think I know now where Michael Jackson got his moves.
We had some supper and then off to the bed but wait.... We have to sleep under mosiqtoe nets. It is like sleeping in a spider web. Everyone was really tired so it didn't take long for people to enter lala land.
