It is still many months away, but a project that is up and coming is a Kids Across Africa soccer camp. We are currently organizing all of the details for the camp and recruiting about twenty Rwandan coaches and professional coaches/ athletes. It should be a big deal with about 100 Rwandan kids from the Ruhengeri district being ministered to. One of the main reasons for Kids Across Africa and the soccer camp is help develop servant leaders within the country of Rwanda. Many problems in Rwanda and East Africa as a whole is a lack of leadership. So, many Christian leaders and governments are pushing to develop strong leaders within their countries. Bishop John is partnering with KAA to create camps and projects to do just that. KAA is just breaking ground here in Rwanda and is actually a spin off of Kids Across America, which is an organization that reaches out to inner city youth for Christ through sports camp. Kids Across Africa plans to develop a full scale camp in Ruhengeri within the next year. Rwandan schools and leaders from the community will then be able to bring their kids to the camp where they will participate in sports, learn about servant leadership, and who Jesus Christ is and why he died for them. It has the potential to be a God glorifying, beautiful thing. I am very excited about its potential and what this next year is going to look like for them. KAA first kickoff event to help reach out to kids and promote the organization is the soccer camp, which will be held from July 22-27.
