Vision & why we go…

It remains my vision to lead two missions trips– one domestic and one international– during each player’s four years with our program. We go because God has so generously blessed us and we want to share and experience the Good News of His love with those we meet. These trips provide practical opportunities to learn service as a way of life, to discern God’s passion for all peoples, to put teamwork into action off the court, to have one’s worldview changed forever, to learn to recognize and wholeheartedly follow God’s voice. It is also one of the ways we can develop rich, lasting friendships and honor Jesus Christ on and off the basketball court.

This year’s trip to Camden, New Jersey is the first trip we have taken within the United States. During Spring Break ‘04, we were in Guatemala doing roof construction and loving the kids at the New Life Children’s Home. We also have been to Highgate, Jamaica during Spring Break ‘01. In Jamaica, we served in a variety of ways: painting at the Christian Service International mission house, painting at the Swift Home for Boys, leading devotions at the Lyndale Home for Girls, and visiting an infirmary.

To God be the glory…
