This week I am headed back to Halifax, Nova Scotia to work with my friend Ian McFarlane. Ian is the Pastor of Living Hope Community Church - www.livinghopehalifax.com.
I, along with Michael Curley (our basketball director for Upward), and our spouses, will be training coaches, ref's, and volunteers as part of a continuing partnership in starting an Upward basketball league. Over the summer we were able to help run their first basketball camp and now they are ready to start a league in February 2010. We will also be meeting with members of their church and small groups. This will give us the opportunity to worship with other believers and see how God is working in their community.
We are praying for the families of Halifax to see the great opportunity for their children to play basketball in a league that develops basketball players and Godly character. We are also asking God to reveal to us those in the community who may be seeking Christ and through this sports league will come to know Him as Savior. We would ask that you join us in praying for Ian and Living Hope as they step forward in faith to impact their community through sports.
