Hello,
I have gathered 5 christian basketball coaches who have in their hearts sports evangelism. We had two meetings in which we are convinced to organize an Evangelistic Basketball Tournament; most of the top basketball players in Mada are not reached by the Gospel, so our goal is to reach them. There are 12 teams of top players who will participate. The tournament will start on April 19th 2008, we will invited a top christian singer/star to perform; many churches and christian organizations are mobilized to pray for it as well. I will give to them spiritual insights and Sports Evangelism training and also to the christian young people who will assist us.
Please pray for the evangelism we will do so that the Lord open their heart, so that the Holy Spirit works in the organization, and so that the Lord will provide the budget of $3,000.
The second thing I ask you is the email address of John Berger [Kathy, perhaps you can send this to Njaka?].
Two weeks ago I went to the poor people village where we did the social action to follow up with them. Five families have been visited and they said that they are thirsty for God’s Words; they said that there is no one willing to come to them because their village is classified as one of the poorest. Their need is Bible. As Grant Faubion said suggested sending Gideon Bibles, I thought it important to mention that they would need to be in Malagasy, because the people cannot speak French nor English. (Not sure if Gideon’s publish in Malagasy.)
