As many of you know, our Paul has sat on the sideline since his birth watching his brother play UPWARD football and basketball. Now that he is 4 years old, he qualifies to get off of the sideline and play ball. His first game was this past week and he did great. He had a blast dribbling the ball and trying to make a basket. We are thrilled for him as he begins the discovery process of what it means to be a part of a team. It is also neat to watch his big brother teach him and coach him each night upstairs in the bonus room as Luke helps Paul practice. What touched my heart most this week was the fact that Paul was so excited to learn his memory verse for UPWARD.
Thanks to all of you who give of your time and effort to lead this effort in our community. We are blessed by the work of God that is going forth from you. My prayer is that many children will be drawn to JESUS and that their parents will also be drawn to our Lord. It is amazing how God can use sports to bring the Gospel into our hearts.
Our prayer is that God will use our kids along with all of the others who are from Christian homes that are involved in UPWARD to be a witness to the multitudes that come who are lost.
Let's keep reaching Greensboro with UPWARD sports.
