Scott Paschal here... Ministry Director of the International Christian Tennis Association, a Christ-centered, Bible based sports ministry sharing the Good News of Jesus through the sport of tennis.
A quick welcome to our internet visitors today from 114 cities in 44 countries. So great to have you stop by and see the fantastic things God is doing with our sports ministry.
Guess what!?Our group of wonderful Christian tennis missionaries will be home tomorrow!
So good to have them back.
I've really missed them around here.
Bible stories exploded into real life right in front of their eyes. There is one God-blessed, life altering story in particular I can't wait to share with you! But, you will have to wait because it will be released on ICTA Video.
These Christian tennis missionaries had an extraordinary experience compared to the average secular tennis academy player for sure!!
Was it all easy and fun!
Nope, not at all!
With God involved you know it's time to be ready to work for Him while being coached, shaped, and developed by Him for His will!
to complete flight schedule changes as they kept winning matches...
to rescuing an abused teen player from her abusive married tennis pro...
to Mel unfortunately drinking the water in Juarez causing her to have stomach cramps so bad she couldn’t hardly play...
to ‘Tell being refused entry in Mexico and being deported (hilarious story there!)...
to Rachel playing her heart out even with a back injury...
to a really amazing teen-aged Newgy playing her heart out in a 3 hr match and gaining valuable experience and WTA pointage...
to Mark’s mom, Robin, traveling with everyone and helping everything stay safe and smooth...
to sharing Jesus on the streets in San Luis Potosi...
to safe travel back home…
this has been a successful warmup missions tour to help prepare this amazing ICTA Women's Pro Team for the journies ahead!
So exciting to see God working in and through the lives of young people! So rare in todays world to see world class athletes giving of themselves for Him. What a fantastic example for other Christian tennis players and coaches around the globe.
As this team gels into a stronger and stronger team, I can't hardly imagine what they will accomplish.
