Nicaragua Outreach Praise Report
We were blessed to partner with Open Eyes Ministries - Nicaragua (Eric Weber). We played 14 softball games and shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the players, fans, umpires, etc. We spoke in 8 public school assembly programs and ministered in a church and in the communities. We passed out thousands of gospel tracts. When the Gospel was presented, we gave the people the opportunity to repent and believe on Jesus. Glory to God, there were 1,306 public professions of faith! We talked to them about how to grow in the Lord and their relationship with Christ and encourage them to become a member of a Bible-believing church.

Sharing the Gospel and the Word of God during share time at full-day overnight camp at Mars Hill University.
|
There will be half-day camps in Hendersonville, NC, Forest City, NC, Landrum, SC, Asheville, NC and the full-day and overnight camp will be at Mars Hill University and Grand Cayman. Last year, in 7 weeks of camp, there were 850 campers, ages 6-17 years old (boys and girls). We pray to have the same amount this year, as God draws them in.
We have our annual scholarship donation program. As a ministry, we provide scholarship monies for young people with legitimate financial needs. We will interview the parent(s) to discuss the need. Our goal is to raise $50,000 through donations from individuals, businesses and churches. Last year, we were able to help 325 campers with partial scholarships so they could attend the camps. Would you pray about helping a youth dream a dream of camp, where they will receive excellent basketball instruction, but more importantly, hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Word of God daily? Glory to God, there were over 350 professions of faith and over 200 recommitments, out of the 850 campers last year.
Would you please consider a donation to the scholarship program?
