This is probably the best picture I've been able to take while in Zambia. On the day of our soccer clinic, I saw this little boy with a ball that he had made out of some old carpet. I asked him to pose for me and boy did he produce a picture that captures the heart of Zambia. He had shoes, but most of his friends did not...he had a ball, but most of his peers did not. And while he may have been fortunate enough to have shoes and a ball, he most likely had not eaten on this day. But, he was one of over 150 young people that were attracted to an old field with a bunch of Americans wearing soccer jerseys and holding real soccer balls. And on this day, this little boy heard the Gospel. He found out why he was here, who he was, and where he was going...man's three most important questions. But most importantly he heard who Jesus was, why He came, and where He went. So many hands went up professing faith in Christ on this day, that I'm not sure whether this little boy was one of those precious hands or not. But regardless, he heard the Good News, he saw the Good News in action, and he was loved. "So Lord...let us walk with a heart of compassion; love not just with words, but with deeds. Like the One we love so, let us live to go wherever love leads." And on this day, love led us to this little boy and many more.
