 More importantly, I was able to talk to the kids about the dangers of bullying and peer pressure, as well as the rewards of caring for others and befriending those in need, through the powerful story of the young man to whom the Maritime basketball courts were dedicated three years ago.

 Jason was widely known for his concern for others and often called “a superman for the underdogs” in his school and community.  I was fortunate enough to work with Jason for 4 years and I’m just trying to keep his memory alive by recognizing  members of the community and students from area schools, selected for the embodiment of Jason’s ideals.  We were able to raise money for the “Help a Kid Foundation” which funds after school activities for children in the community, through a silent auction and raffle.  William Shuttleworth spoke from the heart to the kids and let us know a little bit about his foundation which is currently supporting over 250 children in the area. 

  

 

Below is a short video from our event

Our Superintendent of schools William Shuttleworth’s “Help a kid fund” supported ten of our campers this year.  So we’re going to have a car wash, bake sale, art and lemonade sale to raise money for the foundation that supported so many of us.   We’re going to turn in our old sneakers, shoes and unused toys, as well as non-perishable foods so we can donate them appropriately to the outreach organizations in our community.   My hope is that if we can expose these kids to the people in our community that are reaching out to those in need, then maybe some of them can experience the rewards of giving back!

Performing in Somerset New Jersey

I had the opportunity to share my testimony and perform at a Youth Conference at the Somerset Bible Baptist Church in Somerset , NJ a couple weeks ago.  It was great!  There were about 500 teens in attendance, and it was such a great feeling to be able to encourage the teens there and have a small part in the great things that the Lord was doing at this conference.  The preaching was amazing and I felt the hand of God on all that they were doing there. I talked with Bob Hooker and Reno Likins (two of the guest speakers) who both have ministries that reach thousands and thousands of people all over the world, about my basketball ministry and they both offered to help me get things off the ground.  My hope is to be able to visit churches alot more in the future and use showtime basketball to set the stage for kids to come under the sound of the gospel.  If I can use basketball to help children/teens realize their need to accept Jesus as their savior, I can’t imagine anything more important than that! 

So I hope that this conference will lead to more opportunities to put my talents in God’s hands and get back to doing his work!  Because if there’s anything that I learned from my near-death experience after complications from a back surgery a little over a year ago, it’s this:  only the things that you’ve done for the Creator, in the time he’s allowed you to have on this earth, is all that will truly matter when it’s your time to meet Him. 

I don’t try to pretend to be anything more than a dirty rotten sinner saved by His grace, but I just thank God for the opportunity I had in Somerset NJ last week to encourage some teenagers and hopefully get a jump start on a ministry to reach young people with the gospel.
