Today we played the University of San Carlos. They had a very nice indoor facility and a very strong team. They are considered the #2 team on the island behind UV. We continued our winning streak in Cebu with a victory over the USC Warriors. We had a great time of fellowship with the players after the game, and Elliot shared a few words of encouragement with them. The coach of USC is a Christian, and does a lot to reach out to his players. We trust that our efforts helped to back up what he tells them on a regular basis. Please keep the USC basketball team in your prayers. We would love to see God move in a mighty way, and use the basketball team to reach the rest of the campus. His is able!
After our first game we spent some time at the mall until our second of three games. We soon learned that our second game had been cancelled, so we decided to go back to our rooms at CCGC and play some pick up games with the youth who use the basketball facility there. Pastor Phillip of the CCGC explained to us that these young men are part of an outreach that the church puts on in efforts to share the gospel with them. We played around with them for a while and then spent a few minutes explaining to them why we had come. Christian shared his testimony and encouraged them to talk to the youth workers if they had any further questions. Each of these young men are in great need of prayer. Please pray for the youth outreach at CCGC, and the workers who minister there.
For our final game we headed out to the Barangay of Banilad. When we arrived we first met the Barangay Captain, who is like the mayor of the Barangay, then we played against the local team. We came away with another win, and more importantly we had a great time of ministry to the crowd and opposing team. Lee shared his testimony and pastor Gary gave the challenge to the crowd. We passed out tracts and received a numbe rof response cards that will be followed up later. Please keep the follow up workers in your prayers.
After the game we went to dinner. We have eaten quite a few times at a nice chicken on a stick restaurant. We then returned home and hit the sack...
