LIVING BALL ATTENDING A SPORTS DAY IN BRANDFORT

A huge sports festival for Primary and Secondary Schools was held at the Hoerskool Staatspresident Swart in Brandfort. All the rugby matches and netball games were played with the Living Ball. A lot of children visited the Living Ball stall, to find out more about Living Ball. Andre and Franna had the opportunity to minister to the children and parents (and referees) that showed their interest in Living Ball. Andre (he is from PhD4Jesus) challenged the children to memorize verses from the Bible, and to come back and quote it to him. For their efforts, he blessed them with a Living Ball armband and some instances, a Living Ball sport ball.

LIVING BALL VISITS HEILBRON

Cecile Krause and her team from Heilbron invited Living Ball to come and share the Gospel to the children from the Sandersville Township. About 200 children gather on a weekly basis on the church grounds where they ministered to them and supply them with something to eat and drink. Gavin and Franna played a couple of games with the children and then shared the Good News to them. Thanks to loyal supporters who made it possible for Living Ball to bless them with some sport balls to keep them busy.

LIVING BALL AND THE @LANTIC 7'S

Living Ball is very fortunate to be the official supplier of the rugby balls that are used in all the @lantic 7's tournaments. There are 17 of these tournaments taking place all over South Africa and Namibia. At the recent tournament in Bloemfontein at Jim Fouche High School, we also met up with Marilize Jordaan. She is currently a Springbok Womans Rugby Player and is also a referee with the Free State Rugby Union. We blessed her with some rugby balls to support Womans' Rugby in the Free State. A big thanks to Willem Strauss, Promoter of these tournaments, Dederick Venter from @lantic and Darryl Weir from Bizsport for giving us the opportunity to be part of this great event.

LIVING BALL VISITS SCHOOLS IN EDENBURG

Four schools and a creche in this small Free State town were visited by the Living Ball team from Pretoria. A wide spectrum of cultures were reached with the Good News. There is a real hunger in these schools for the Gospel and we got excellent feedback from the principals. A lot of Living Ball sport balls were left at the schools and in the community for there is a lack of sports equipment and opportunities to play sport. Please pray with us for a vision to accommodate these problems, and to make a difference in this town. Thank you to Maureen and Illodi for their hospitality and excellent arrangements.
