This is a praise report that some may not agree with and I must say I have some difficulty with it myself but the blessings have been incredible from it.
We have had three interns at our Church this summer. They recently organized a 3-on-3 basketball tournament to be held at our Christian School. We had about 100 young men and ladies attend and play. The object was that at some time during the day they would all hear the Gospel. Our Senior Pastor did the preaching. The results of all the hard work was that there were 14 young people who accepted Christ this past Saturday. Praise God for His goodness!
All of the hard work put into the tournament paid off in great dividends. I must tell you that all of the decisions for Christ that were made came from youngsters from secular schools. Now we are working diligently at getting them and their families into Church.
In Christ, George

We attended a church once that various sports programs. And though some of them had their low points, we had a basketball program lead by a dear brother named Pete Adams. He was a good man and was very fair and loved the boys. I appreciated his desire to teach the boys how to excel and how to keep Christ the centerpoint. I am not a big sports fan, especially in view of the ever decreasing morale in the sports world, but good programs that keep the fun in ball and keep godly principles right up top are good with me.

Brother George, That's great to hear! The Lord can use even sports to win young ones to Christ.
