Thursday night saw members of KCM challenge the Borda Borda drivers of Kyampisi (many of whom are Muslim) to a third soccer game. KCM won the first game and the second game ended in a draw. Our Borda Borda friends were very keen to secure a win against us this time.
As we were held up at the Kyampisi church saying farewell to friends, I missed the first half. As soon as we arrived, I was asked to replace Cockroach in defense. A little later, I was asked to move into the midfield - quite an honour in such a strong team!
To cut a long story short, our team won the game 5-2, courtesy of some great plays by members of our team. While I was happy to be a part of the celebrations, I didn't really make a big contribution - I only touched the ball a couple of times - but each time I did, there were cheers from the appreciative crowd, probably about 250 strong!
Following the game we made our way back to the Kyampisi church and then back to the Jesus House - to be honest it was quite difficult driving out to the main highway for the last time - I think it was made a little easier as it was dark and we couldn't really see the locals. We'll certainly be praying for members of our new Kyampisi family!
