I had the privilege to work alongside the coaches at Clark High School this past week to put on an excellent camp for the Clark High School football team. In addition to 3 full practices a day in over 100 degree heat, the boys endured and enjoyed Bible Studies in the evening which resulted in many conversions and commitments to Christian discipleship.
While football is important in the lives of these young men, they learned so much more than x’s and o’s during this week. They learned that God’s love for them knows no bounds, that He made a way for their salvation through the sacrafice of Jesus, that life is sweeter when seeking out what is pleasing to God and that He has a plan to prosper them in every way. Thanks to those who helped support this cause!
While we were able to hustle a few generous contributions for the camp, the most interesting and exciting gift came from a former student and staffmate of mine. As you may know, Greg Jacobs, who we had the privilege of discipling and hiring at Desire Street, is now a succesful entrepreneur and restauranteur. We are grateful for his signficant contribution of $1,200 toward the summer camp! It is especially gratifying that Greg is leveraging our ministry in his life to be a source of blessing in the next-generational lives of others.
Bible Studies will continue into the Fall with these boys and we would greatly appreciate your ongoing support as we replicate core ministry programs in this school and its surrounding neighborhood.
You may also pray for the provision of a ministry van as we are carting the young people around town at present in our personal vehicles.
Again thank you for your prayers and support. Many of these young men will now have the opportunity and privilege to spend eternity expressing gratitude for your generosity.
