In December, I was in Laos. My team worked with a college campus ministry. The leaders Peter and Noi had just left Campus Crusade for Christ (Crew) after working with them for 15 years. Fundraising was too difficult for them in a closed country. They are working to build a similar ministry as Crew with a few additions. Peter is very passionate about sports ministry and Laotians LOVE football aka soccer. He has become a certified soccer coach and is training some of the young men from his ministry to become coaches as well.
 
A typical day for us looked like this:
                                          7:30 Breakfast 
8:00 - 9:00 Quiet time
9:00 – 10:00 Team discussion about our quiet time
                                          10:00 - 12:30 English class with students we had meet on campus 
12:30 - 1:00 Lunch
1:00 - 4:00 English class and recruiting for the classes on campus
                     4:00 - 7:00 Sports on campus to make new friends
                                          7:00 Dinner 
7:30 - 8:00 Free time
                                          8:00 - 11:00 Bible Study with the students who lived in the house and their friends. 

 We had pretty full days. We stayed in Peter and Noi's home with their 2 children, Noi's parents and 3 siblings and at least 20 college students. I say at least because some people we saw more often than others so it was hard to always know exactly who lived there verses who just spent the night or enjoyed hanging out.
