I was recently approached by a disciple of mine asking me if I would coach his rugby team. I was a little shocked considering I don't know much about rugby. It wasn't long before they told me that it cost $20 to enter the tournament. Benefactor might be a more apt title than coach. Even though I didn't really contribute any strategy to the team, the guys still let me hang around and pretend to be their coach.
Unfortunately, it rained all week. The grounds were practically a lake which made for a very muddy tournament.

We had a really fun time during the tournament. We made it all the way to the quarterfinals before losing. This was farther than anyone expected. What I was most proud of was the way that Luke handled the whole experience. He wasn't just in it to have fun but he wanted to witness to his friends. He commanded the team from the very beginning. It was amazing to me that when he spoke, everyone got quiet. Luke is a natural leader and it was incredible to see him in action. He even convinced all the team members to come to our weekly meeting. The whole experience was incredibly encouraging to me. I'm so proud of Luke and the way he wants to witness to his friends!
