As some of you may know, we are going to be starting a new ministry here in Despinos with our sports program based off of the Upward Sports program. We believe this will open up new opportunities to reach our local community. To begin with, we will be working out a Basketball program.
The first step to this beyound the planning is getting a court. We would like to build a court large enough for games and practice to include 6 goals. This will be used for the teaching side of the program and then for the games. We would like this to be a sharp looking court as a way of attracting the parents and local community to come and watch. The biggest part of the Upwards program is the devotions and preaching that is done during practice and games.
The Total cost of the court is $1700.00
This will pay for the materials, baskets and lights for night games as it is generally to hot play during the day and it gets dark here earlier that up north. I believe this will be a great way to reach out to
these kids. We want this to be fun, but also a new way to teach kids about Jesus Christ.
Please help us in raising the funds for the ministry. Thank You and God Bless!!!
