South Coast (Fake SMASH)
South Africa has a holiday called "Youth Day" and a pastor on the southern coast of South Africa (about 9hrs from my residence) decided to run a camp during this long weekend and needed our help. We happily agreed and had a van of 12 people trekking across the highways towards the south coast.
The challenging part of this trip for me was that we went to a rural area where English is not as widely spoken. Also we were ministering to a area where camp mean many meetings and no games. Whereas camp means to WOL people many games.
So inorder to not scare anyone away we only played about 2 hours worth of games (plus a soccer tournament), had many meetings, and brought along quite a few Zulu speakers.
