God is Good!





Tomorrow's Sunday... it's time for church!

I'm pumped to preach in the morning! Man, do I love preaching. I love telling people about Jesus.

Guess where I'm preaching. That's right! Right here on site at the largest men's ATP pro tournament in the world, the Cincinnati Masters!

How cool is that!

Last year, we did the same thing... and the largest news station in Cincinnati came out to film it, interview me, and interview folks in the congregation. We were given awesome prime time news coverage as one of the headline stories.

I preached on Mathew 28, the Great Commission. You know... go tell everyone about Jesus.

This year, I plan on throwing down some Galatians 2:22. It's about dying to the world and living for Christ.

If you are coming to the service, plan on some fireworks! I won't be sitting still much. I've spent a week talking with people most of whom haven't the foggiest idea what it means to live for Christ.

Now, I'm primed to bust out a sermon that will change lives!

Tournament missions info...

Want to hear some cool news? Alison, Freddy's mom, wrote today. She said that during a big televised match, the TV camera zoomed in on one of our awesome God is Good fans a little boy was holding!

An international audience saw our ICTA Fan Ministry! I can handle that anyday, my friend!

My God is Good fans are the best in the world. They are solid black with bold white lettering that says God is Good. On the left side of the fan is our cartoon guy hitting a Sampras overhead while pointing to the sky. One of my former students, Marek Czerwinski, who was the 2005 #1 junior in America, designed the cartoon figure for me last year.

Personally, I have no problem with an International Christian Tennis Association ministry program being seen by over 3,000,000+ people worldwide!! How amazing, huh!?

All is well with our missions team. We are tired, but doing well.

Tomorrow, will be a spectacular day. Church in the morning, missions work till 1pm, Roddick vs. Ferrero, Bob and Mike in doubs... then we'll pack everything up and start driving to Birmingham where we'll spend some time with friends before heading home to beautiful Palm Coast, Florida and taking a couple of day off.

This ICTA mission trip has been huge. Without question, the best ever. We've had some spectacular mission trips, but this is the top dog.

The ICTA name brand has been seen by tens of thousands, we've spoken to 100's, amazing contacts with top ministry & business professionals who have seen us work for the last 2 years at this event and the last 4 years at other events, top players & coaches, pastors & youth pastors, attorneys, teachers, housewives, tennis pros, college coaches, college players, junior players, USTA staff, USPTA staff, ESPN, and more new ICTA members than I ever expected from all over the state and around the country.

Your emails and prayers of support have meant so much! Thanks!

God is Good!
