Prayer

Praise: The team from Southeastern University has arrived. There are only 8 of them....but still...they will be a huge help!

Prayer Requests:
1. Tomorrow morning (tuesday) is the start of 2 different camps that we are putting on this week. One is in the morning, the other in the afternoon. Please pray that the Lord will be working in the hearts of the kids that are coming that they will be receptive to the devotionals that are given at every session. At the end of the week, we will have an "altar call" when we will directly lay out the gospel and see how many kids want to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior.
2. Please pray for me specifically as I will have the main responsibility of running these camps as James will be very busy with the professional team this week. So please pray that God will give me the Spanish words to say to help control these kids and help them both in their basketball, as well as in their spiritual lives.
3. James and I will have pretty much the sole responsibility of follow-up w/ the kids that do make a commitment to Christ. So please pray that we are able to plug these kids into local churches where they dont have to travel far to get to (as all of them are poor kids). The problem is that there are very few truly biblical churches, so we need to find all the ones closest to these kids that are solid, Bible-preaching churches.

Ok, wish I could update you on more that has been going on, but as you can see, we are pretty busy (just got back from the pro practice like 15 minutes ago)! Love you all, and can't thank you enough for your prayers and encouraging comments on these posts and facebook and email. Praise the Lord for the work He is doing!!!
