There was no Post-Up Basketball tonight.

July 20, 2007 Report

We had about 20 young men attend this evenings Post-Up. Tensions were running a bit high tonight, there is a tough battle going on for the hearts and souls the devil has a strong hold on some of these young men. Please pray that Gods light will shine so bright into the dark corners of these troubled teens lives.

Half-time was good it seems they have gotten used to the singing hymns and seem to participate more.

Continue to pray everyones safety and that the message of Gods truth and salvation will be heard and understood.

On a side note, the camera we use was knocked off the table and a lens was broken so I'm not sure if we will have pictures to post.

This weeks report is from Mr. Terry.

We had 17 attend this week. Had a good half-time message about the contrast between Moses and Pharaoh. Moses exercised faith and believed God and Pharaoh hardened his heart and he and the Egyptians faced the plagues and the death angel. The blood of the lamb was placed by faith on the lintel and door posts and was seen and the destroyer passed over the Hebrews. Those who claim the merits of the shed blood of Christ also have their death sentence passed over.

The Dela Pena's were there with their friend Aaron a Catholic who is unsaved. Pray an opportunity will open there. Had a bit of a disturbance on the bus ride home. Continue to pray for our safety in transporting these young people. Continue to pray for Phil, he has been in contact with Pastor Lee and comes once in a great while, he ia searching, pray he finds true direction in Jesus.

Hope to see you all next week.

Greetings,

There was a smaller then usual group (possibly due to the July 4th holiday) the 11 or so that attended were broken up into two teams set for scrimmage and played eight games total. Team Captains for the evening were Zack M. and Jay S.

We had a great spirit at snack time and the young men listened to the song and message that was brought. Mr. Baggech refereed the games and had to make very few calls because the men were catching the fouls themselves and making those call. What a great way to see that God is working when the men see mistakes and admit and correct the problem and say they are sorry.

At the end of the night we played a quick game of Knock-Out. Mr. Baggech managed to be at the basket while Mr. Terry played. He was able to stay in for a few rounds but was eventually eliminated. The three left played a truly "knock-down-drag-out" fight to the finish.
