• Today I went with a bunch of the boys to the big Seoul orphanage soccer tournament.  My boys did great and won all three of their games... 3 - 0, 2 - 0, and 1 - 0.  Their last game, the championship, was postponed due to rain.  Enjoy the pics...

  The bench players

  

  Min Ho

  

  Jong Hyun

  

  This was a goal... it was a really far free kick... the boy who missiled it is way out of the picture

  Encouraging Soo Min... I'm wearing my church's team soccer jersey... the Korean script reads "jae-ee-aem," or simply, "JM"

  

  Half time speech by our coach, a volunteer who coaches at a local school and got to know some of our kids there

  

  Sang Kook before the start of the second half, he scored 4 of our 6 goals today

  

  Action shot, I think this is Min Ho

  

  Soo Hwan taking a free kick, he scored a beautiful turnaround shot in the first game

  

  After the third game, the boys all exhausted but happy coming over to greet Pastor Chae and Mrs. Chae (our director)

  

  With Doo Bong, a boy who graduated last year but came to cheer the boys on too... I used to play with him outside often when he lived here, it was good to be with him today

   

  After the long day, Pastor Chae and Mrs. Chae treated the kids to a big dinner... here we are applauding the dorm father Dong Min for encouraging the boys and training them

  Good times today, the championship is scheduled for Saturday, October 13th at Children's Grand Park.  More pictures then.  God bless!
