Outreach with under-age asylum seekers: Rugby Clinic

This morning we continued with our outreach programme for kids at the HUB 
for under-age asylum seekers in Budrio, in partnership with YfC Italy.

In a village next to Budrio, three years ago was opened the second biggest centre of the Bologna area, to host under-age migrants landed in Italy. At the moment they host
18 kids, mostly Muslim, from various African countries, Albania and Pakistan.

A door was opened to offer a series of Rugby Clinics with Coach Colin White, a former professional rugby player for Scotland, now part of the Bologna staff of YfC Italy.

We are very excited for this opportunity for our church to reach out these kids and for the partnership with the manager of the Mezzolara Sport Centre.

Today Colin, through practical examples from rugby, talked about when we want to score a try and we do our best for that goal. Colin shared how in his life he realized how the goals he set were ultimately not satisfactory and how only in Jesus he found his true identity and goal in life.

Join us in praying for Colin and us that we'll be able to share Jesus' Love to these kids,
the HUB staff and the Sport Centre staff,
in words and actions!
