Our volleyball tournament was last weekend in Pusan (which is on the Southeastern tip of the country). God took that weekend to show just how amazing He really is. Our girls constantly sang praise songs all weekend long. They did not care who was around to hear them or where they were.
On the bus on our way to Camp Hialeah from the subway our girls started singing (they sang on the train, bus, in the showers, during games- quietly of course, and on the way home). It was amazing too because it was evident that God was working in the situation. A few girls from the other teams on the bus (there were two other teams with us) began to sing with the girls, a few began to mock the girls, and a group even turned on a radio to try and overpower our girls. Of course the radio didn’t work though; the team was just too loud. It was obvious that praise songs were doing something in the hearts of the other girls if they were battling it.
The tournament was a double elimination tournament. The team had lost their first game, meaning if they lost another they were done. Every time after that when the girls were struggling they wanted to pray and ask God for a clear head. We ended up playing six games in all for the competition. Sadly every team we ended up beating left crying. The girls managed to pull their game together and they made it to the championship game against one of our sister schools. We won the first set of the game but lost the last two with an awesome fight. When we lost the girls were excited to have made it to the number two seat in the tournament. It was awesome because the first thing almost all of the girls said was “Praise God.”
It’s awesome to see how God was using our team to be a light to all the other schools.
There are things I miss about home, yes. But I am at peace knowing that I have an opportunity that most people would never get. I get to affect lives in a way that I never could have dreamed of.
