Futsal!

Several of our students (and two faculty members) this winter formed a “Futsal” team, representing Biblijski institut. Futsal is indoor soccer, played in a gymnasium. The team is led by student Filip Grujić and sponsored by staff and faculty member Ivan Karadža. They have been competing in a Zagreb inter-university league. Most of the other teams in the league represent much larger schools and have been playing together as teams much longer than our students. As a result, our team has experienced more losses than victories. However, through it all, they have displayed great sportsmanship, and have been a witness for Christ in the way they play together, support each other, and pray together before games. This has also been a great boost for the spirit of unity and fellowship among our students, faculty, and staff. To celebrate the end of the season, a match was organized between the student Futsal team and faculty (photo below). Yes, I even played! Afterwards everyone went out for pizza together. As we were sitting around the table I was thinking that we had together there a good portion of both the present and future leadership of the church in Zagreb, enjoying great fellowship and the unity of the Spirit. That gave me great joy and hope for the future of the Kingdom here. It also reinforced for me the importance of what we are doing here. We are all proud of these men for wanting to do something like this together, as well as for representing us and Christ’s kingdom well. Way to go guys!
