(Posted on the Behalf Quarantine)
18 Pax posted at Crypt this morning for the PT Test and some exercises with an African theme. YHC rolled onto the scene about 4:55am and was greeted by a jogging Copay who apparently just couldn’t wait until 5:15! With a couple visitors from #Swagger joining the Pax this morning, folks seemed geared up for a great time.

After a SOLID PT test of we made our way to the brick wall but on the way began our African story time with a South African Proverb, “Wanna go fast, go alone – wanna go far, go together.” With that in mind, we pressed onward – everybody with a partner.

After some harassment and lots of cries for mercy from the Pax, I figured it was time for some fun.
At Young Life Camp we play a game where all the kids basically throw a ball, then go get it! Then throw it again, and go get it. So for about 3 minutes we sprinted around the field chasing a glow ball. First one to the ball chucked it in a new direction. Good times!
With just seconds remaining, the Pax circled up for a good rotation of planks – left, right, center, leg lifts and a 30 second superman to finish it off!

Afterwards I shared one more African story that can only be summarized by saying that our God is a great God who is in pursuit of His people all around the world…and His Word is ALIVE and He hears the cry of His sons and daughters. Be encouraged fellas!
