We had an exciting day on Saturday with 6 of our OAM Sports Academy Netball girls attending U21 South Western District trials. They all played very well, with Andisiwe and Thandie being selected on the squad. We are now just waiting to hear if they will be selected for the team, so please keep them in your prayers as this would be an amazing opportunity for the girls!

Football:

The team has been incredible, working so diligently and selflessly to glorify our Lord’s name. We are so thankful for all the blessings the team have brought to the ministries in George, it has been amazing. Here is a video of their time here…we hope it touches you as they have touched the lives of so many people here. Enjoy!
