On this particular Saturday September 13th, it rained cats and dogs in Buea and we almost got discouraged with what would turn out to be of great joy to not only to the BCC team but moreso to about 50youths who came out to watch a duel between the BCC football team and a team from the Bonduma village area.
At exactly 30minutes behind schedule the match kicked off with Pastor Genesis captaining the 11man squad of BCC. The match was so tight and interesting that after half time, the scores stood at 1:0 in favour of the village youths.
With the imminent presence of goalkeeper Simon Njock and 9-shirted pichichi – Ade Manga, Ps G and his boys mounted pressure and picked up the curtain raiser for BCC. With the support of our ladies, the “preachers” got more courage but missed many scoring opportunities.
Notwithstanding, the BCC team did no longer have any physical energy (though the Spirit was there) and the best they could do was to conceive the second goal from our opponent.
This match was organized as part of her curriculum of the second School of Discipleship in a bit to create meaningful and extended relationships with the goal to win the village youths for Jesus.
Later in the evening, we invited the youths for a fellowship meal at where 4persons made commitments to follow Jesus. The return leg comes up on October 18th.
