Grade 7's Team Building




The grade 7s has a team building project this weekend at the YWAM base and my brother and I, and a few more young teachers from the school volunteered to help out. I really love it here. It’s really quiet and peaceful.
I get up every morning before sunrise to do my quiet time here by the dam. The morning sun rise is spectacular.Takes my breath away every time. I see that first sun rays peek over those mountains, and it feels like I can hear God Himself whispering good morning to me through that splendid sun rise. He’s beauty is displayed early in the morning, that from the rising of the sun to the sun set, He’s name indeed is praised through all creation.

 I have to say that it has been quite interesting and fun for the past two days. On Friday we had prepared many ice breakers and awesome games for the kids. And yesterday we had early devotional time and then weeding after breakfast. The kids had to learn how to work together as a team which worked pretty well.

Noon time, we went out hiking, which was really my favorite thing to do. I really loved every moment of it. I love Hiking simply because every step you take clearly teaches you about the Christian journey. Which seem to starts off pretty well but as you go up in the middle, the journey starts to get tough and your legs get tired, your arms, and your whole body screams for nothing else but give up!
It always seems easy to go back down then to continue going up. But I have found that when I hike and I come to a point where by I feel tired, I don’t look back but keep my eyes fixed on the top of the mountain. And try to imagine the great view and the nice cooling breeze that I would get once I get up there. Those are the two things that keep me going. And indeed the reward is always great!
The team building, the fellowship, games, and food has been great. The kids truly enjoyed every bit of it, so did we all as teachers.
