Resourcing Each Other

Kids/Teen Games are an exciting opportunity to see sport reach across communities and to use sport as a catalyst for outreach - it is not solely sport, check out http://www.kidsgames.com/ for further info. I believe that the opportunity for the 'church'/christian community to get involved in this initiative in the years up to Glasgow 2014 are huge.
I've copied a message from a friend below re events that are currently happening. I hope it excites you too.
Nearby bombing concerns caused one of the Pakistan KG for 1,050 to be postponed from last Sunday until Saturday. Final preparations are underway for KG on two South Pacific Islands, Papua New Guinea & Fiji. In 2 weeks the first Papua New Guinea village will host a 5 day KG for 400-500 & the following week ending the day before Christmas an additionally 400-500 in a second village (volunteer leaders in photo). In Fiji more than 1,000 from 11 villages will take part in a KG concluding on the 17th in Dawasamu, on the 19th 500 children from 4 towns will be in Tavua, on the 20th more than 700 from Nadi & surrounding communities & on the 22nd 300 at the Mana Resort for all the nearby villages. The city of Young in South America's Uruguay is expecting 2,000 for a KG hosted by 10 partners. Paraguay, also in South America had 3 partners host an introductory KG for 80 in Itacurubí de la Cordillera. Last week an introductory KG took place in Sarawak Malaysia.The extensive gcg partnering in Egypt now includes this week a 3 day sports festival with 80 Cairo partners serving.
