As we get ready to go to Rwanda we've had a few meetings that get us more informed, prepared for OS mission and amped to go! Personally I can't wait!
The great thing about mission trips is that you're intentionally positioning yourself out of your comfort zone, exposed to be stretched and challenged as you dare to go to a foreign environment and put God in the drivers seat. Whether it be in your neighbours yard in Balga (shame u don't live there anymore Tony - we'll miss the Tip) or to the orphanages of Thailand where my great friend AMP left for today. You can't help but grow in this setting! I recommend a trip for anyone - especially those who've never been.
So anyway - we decided if we're gonna be playing soccer with these little orphans in Africa we may need some practice. So I dedicate this post to the brave souls that ventured into the cold and darkness of late Friday avo to have a kick for Rwanda!
Here's some pics! We had pros like the Dominator Murdocca, Andy quite the star also (even if he wore a hockey T-shirt), The Factor's own Bryce Green who sported some very dirty airplane impersonating tactics, Cuz'n Mike (what a champ and he ran all the way there!) and b00f didn't play - he had a medical certificate. He made for a good ball runner though.
Special thanks to Target Vic Park for the speedy service in the purchase of the official size #5 FINA ball in a record 3.25mins!! Trick is: call ahead!
Enough rambling you want pics right! Go the Socceroos!

well done aussie people.. must admit that I didn't know you guys knew how to play soccer ahahah!!!
mate all I can say is that playing soccer in spanner weather (cold enough to tighten your nuts) is not a fun experience. I would discourage you from trying it - I couldn't feel my toes it was so damn cold...
I suggested lighting a fire but that would be socially irresponsible!
NERDS FC!!!?
Ado - Oh nice - why don't you get back to your books!
