Soccer Ball Outreach

We had a request from the older boys at the Sakata Primary School for soccer balls. On our way out, down the dirt path leading away from the school, there was a little boy holding what's best described as a former soccer ball, looking like a round bundle of rags, with some patches of black and white. Pastor Williex then told us it would be a great means of outreach at all the schools.

I have often thought that one of the reasons soccer, "football", as it's called most other places besides the US, is so popular in the poor countries, is that all you need to play is a ball, and an open field. I have at times seen it played with taped up rags.
