Hello from the office!
This is a snapshot of our office area for the International Christian Tennis Association.
I'm on the right throwing a lefty wave. Rach is waving from her desk. Mel's desk is there on the left.
I have worked for ICTA for 8+ years now. During this time, our membership has grown from 5 of us in Arlington, Texas, USA to 1000's in over 1500 cities in 47 countries worldwide. As we busily grow our membership base, we then look to develop interesting things for our members to do and be part of. I have a fantastic time inventing and growing ICTA programs.
It's great to watch God bless ICTA. I work about 80 hrs a week developing our sports ministry. Rachel and Melody Snelen( Rach and Mel) add an easy 70 additional hours a week. That's 600 hours a month devoted to reaching people with the Gospel through the sport of tennis. We also have tremendous friends in other parts of the country who volunteer their time as well.
Right now, I have three interesting projects I am focused on. The first one is I am developing a tennis tour company designed to offer first class tennis tours to Grand Slam tournaments for ICTA members. Next, Breck and I are working to launch ICTA's Faith & Tennis Magazine in 2006. And finally, I am looking for a piece of land on which to build ICTA's tennis facility in partnership with others.
As the French Open draws to a close and we begin to look forward to Wimbledon, I'd like to ask you to keep our mission trip to Ghana in your prayers. We have began a partnership with a racket manufacturer and a health food supplement company for this trip. Through a parent of a former student, I also have strong connection with Ghana's government, as well as a place to stay for our trip. If you would like to partner with ICTA to help us bring tennis training, tennis equipment, Bibles, and nutritional supplements to the poor and needy in Ghana, simply call me at your convenience.
We do not have a firm date set, yet, as we are waiting for all financial situations to be covered for this trip.
God bless each of you!
