A women's team from North America has come to train with athletes from Banyana Banyana, U17, and the U20 SA teams. What a blessing it's been to have them here and pour into our South African women. Here are the updates from the North American team!!
We have arrived! The team has made it safe and sound to Pretoria, South Africa and all the girls are just now getting settled in to their rooms. Our two 13-hour flights were long, but we didn't experience any complications, praise the Lord! In fact, we even arrived in Johannesburg an hour early! We are already feeling a bit of the World Cup fever out here as the airport was filled with signs and propaganda everywhere! You can definitely feel the excitement in the air!
Our team chemistry already seems to be great. I'm very encouraged to see God connecting lives already as we build relationships with each other. Please keep praying for us as we continue to get to know each other and begin to share our lives with the South African women here.
Currently the girls are enjoying some much desired down time- and later this afternoon our AIA team will be meeting the South African players we will be training with this week. At this point we are expecting anywhere from 25-50 players at this camp, so it will be interesting to see how many girls show up! Please keep us in your prayers as we meet the girls tonight and being our training camp tomorrow morning!
Thanks for your prayers!
