School Field Trip
Mar 10th
Dear Friends,
This past Saturday we took the kids from my school on an outing. We went to visit another primary school and there the boys played soccer and the girls played a game called Nzango. Our school won both games. Nzango is a very popular game here among the girls. Two girls compete at a time and they jump and then kick out one of their legs. If both the girls kick the same leg then one side wins but if they both kick different legs then its the other side that wins. While we were out we also took our students to see where Congo’s first President is buried. That was very special to see. Overall it was a really fun day, and it was really nice to get away from the school and visit another part of the Congo along with my students.
Saturday was a very long day because right after I got home from the field trip there was a concert at church and I had to be there to sing. I have started singing with a group called the Pop Junior. I tried to talk them out of it but they even gave me a solo. Saturday we sang the song Power of Your Love in Lingala. Except the second verse when we sang in three languages; I sang in English, my roommate Josephine sang in Danish, and another girl in the group sang in Lingala.
At school things are going very well. We are almost at the end of the second trimester.
I am enjoying my life and experience here so much, I can’t believe the days are going by so fast and I often wish they would just slow down. Sometimes people start to remind me that I only have 3 months left here, but I just tell them that I don’t like to talk about that.
Thank you again for your continued prayers and support.

Sober Fun & Fellowship – Video Highlights
Mar 8th
On Monday, March 1, 2010, we hosted a night of games, free refreshments, music and mixing to accentuate individual lives of recovery and develop stronger bonds of fellowship within our various recovery groups.
Kroc Church’s Belinda Owens graciously hosted the Bunco game, a fun, fast-paced Yahtzee-like opportunity for everyone to yell like silly people; Chef Ross provided the snacks (special thanks to all the Food & Beverage Associates who provided support for our monthly Breakfast for Dinner, and for those ever-so-in-demand ice cream sandwiches!
We believe taking these breaks for sober fun and fellowship is vital to our continued success in personal recovery and our corporate goals. So what’s next for sober fun? Someone suggested we go to the Kroc Center Ice Arena. Someone else suggested the Skate Park… We’ll have to pray on that one!
Seekers: Men’s Fellowship Breakfast
Mar 7th
Kroc Center men are pretty fantastic people. So, Kroc Center men, we invite you to join us for a breakfast at IHOP.
You’re paying your own way (we never said we’d make this easy. You wouldn’t want that anyway, would you?). We’ll share a big table; we’ll break bread (waffles?) in fellowship. Maybe we’ll set big, hairy goals for ourselves, or maybe we’ll just enjoy the moment. However it all works out, we’d love for you to be there with us.
Interested? Of course you are! Click here for a little more information.
