BASKETBALL MINISTRY TRIP



A few days ago...(ok 12 to be exact) I went with my friend Susan to watch her husband and some other guys I know play in a basketball ministry game. How it works is they travel to various villages/provinces/barangays to play ball and share the love of Christ. This one happpened to be fairly close at a place called Halang Barangay. The guys set up a game with some of the locals. They usually tend to keep the first half fairly close to keep the fans interested, then turn it up a bit in the second half. During half time they share the gospel and hand out tracks and flyers. It's a great opportunity to build relationships and invite people to church and bible studies. During the games I like to walk around and play with the kids and talk to the people. The kids really LOVE to have their picture taken.



You can see more pictures on facebook if you have an account. I really love doing things like that and spending time with the locals. It's times like that when God really shows me my heart and how blessed I truly am. You can watch a video of the trip by going to this link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Exz1g4EbKXE

This picture is of Jimwell and his mom. When he was in the womb his skull didn't fully close so the brain fluid is leaking out the hole into this sac. I believe he's almost 1 now but the life expectancy isn't very high. We're praying that a doctor would be able to come and help.




Here are a couple more for you just because they are sooo beautiful!
