Canadian Basketball Camp-Monday, Day 1

We are resting this afternoon from an outstanding morning full of energy produced by 28 basketball players ranging in skill and age. Each camper received his or her own ball...that was a big deal! The high school gym was filled with bouncing balls, screeching shoes, and the constant roar of kids ranging in age from 5-14.

The Hudsons and the Porters have been incredible host families. Sunday service at the Sanctuary was overflowing with 92 young kids from Tenn. that were ON MISSION this past week doing incredible things for God.

We joined in with some of their church members and saw a breath-taking victory by the Toronto Argonauts. That was a real treat.

Please continue to keep us in prayer for God's guidance and will as we help support these dedicated families ON MISSION in Canada.

Hi Coaches & Campers

PUTTING LIFE INTO SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE CAN TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF AND "jump"-START TO CREATIVE JUICES.

Prayers to all, love Paula

What a thought that each kid receiving their own basketball would be such a big deal! We take SO much for granted!!! Glad you are there.
