Basketball is still up and running.... the enthusiasm is still strong... We have met some awesome kids that have blessed our lives. Pastor Brett's message during our "Cross training" time has reminded the campers that God knows all and that we have been created for specific purposes. He explained how important it is to be on "Jesus' Team" and following the Word of Truth.
Tomorrow we will wrap up the camp with special treats, games, and contests. We have been so blessed to be a part of this camp!
Last night we were a part of the Sanctuary's Life gathering (Bible Study). Studying the third chapter in James has so many life lessons. The people that we met there were so warm and welcoming.
Talk about fun!!! Tonight we grilled out hamburgers and hotdogs for the Toronto Argonauts from the CFL.These guys came in from a practice and were so appreciative and friendly. It was great working with Dave and Ruth Hudson as a part of the Athletes in Action ministry.
Again, we can't say thank you enough for this opportunity to serve. We have truly been blessed.

Tuesday in Canada
Day 2
Last night was really special as we went with Dave Hudson to an Athletes in Action campus meeting. A defensive back for the CFL Argonauts gave his testimony. WOW! His inspiration touched the young adults who were there. His testimony included stories of poverty, drugs, and football before he gave his life to Christ. Since giving his life to Christ he's become an ambassador for the Lord on and off the field.
Today all basketball campers returned and made tremendous improvement. Each day is divided into 4 sessions with a devotional time and short life lesson given by Pastor Brett. Today he used masking tape to make his point. Ask Pat or me about it.... it was good. We are anxious to share how you can get involved with these two wonderful Canadian missions ( The Sanctuary and Athletes in Action).
After camp today, Ruth was so kind to take us to Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake. What an amazing experience. How can one not believe in an awesome GOD after seeing His artwork?
Pat and I want to thank Kevin and Allyson and all who made this trip possible. Thanks for your prayers and kind words.

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.
