Dakar, Senegal – June 12-24, 2010
Hello from Senegal!!! We have had the chance to continually see what an awesome God our God is!
Our team was divided into 3 crews; “Fas,” “Muus,” and “Bey.” These are Wolof names that mean horse, cat and goat, but we didn’t know what they meant until after we had started our ministry. Project coordinators Matt and Cindy made us ask Senegalese people what these words meant. All the crews got to work with street children at a center as well as meet students and share at a local high school. We couldn’t help but fall in love with all of them more and more each day.
Through it all we saw just how incredible God is and continued to be amazed at what He allowed us to be a part of! ”Jamm ak Jamm friends.”

Johannesburg project, June 8-19, 2010
IWC participants in Johannesburg, South Africa were surprised to face frigid winter temperatures but delighted to still be able to minister to hundreds of children in soccer clinics. They were also able to evangelize with some of the spectatots attending the World soccer matches in the area.
Here’s a video clip about the ministry of the project.
Check out this IWC blog entry of one of our field workers.
Read more about the events of the project here.
Even if you are not a soccer fan, it will be hard to miss the frenzy of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa this summer. IWC has a project in Johannesburg with students working in Soweto using soccer clinics as a way to reach out to children and youth in the township. IWC crews will also be ministering around nearby soccer stadiums to prayerwalk, share, and meet people from around the world.
Pray for the efforts to strengthen the work in Soweto and for opportunities to witness to internationals, especially those from unreached people groups, during the World Cup.
