A higher level

One of the goals of this trip was to expose the boys to the next level of soccer excellence.  That was embodied by the consistently outstanding play of the Ezra Centre.  An academy run by Koreans has produced the leading footballers in Laos.  Not only are they disciplined in every facet of the game, they are also gracious hosts and admirable sportsmen.  Many of the players are Christians who dedicate their abilities to honor God.  They are exactly the combination of character and quality we are looking to emulate.
A 6-0 loss showed we have a distance to cover, but the scoreline doesn't adequately show how well the Saints played.  It was another hard working performance.
