Scotty Sees a Shrink... Chris' Dad, Chuck, Stops By!

Chuck, Chris's Dad, Visiting Scott Paschal

It's Saturday night. As I reflect over this amazing, God blessed week I thought I'd check in with you. God is so good.

I'd like you to meet a couple of my friends, Chuck and Chris. Chuck is Chris' dad. I coached Chris full time last summer. I've known them both for about 4 years.

Chuck is a psychologist and on staff at a large church in the Southern USA. Chris' mom is a Medical Doctor.

These pics were taken a couple of weeks ago. They came by again today. Chuck and I spend a lot of time talking. We made some neat plans for ICTA while Chris and Mark headed out to the tennis courts and played a 5 set match. Mark won 6-3 in the 5th.

I really enjoy having the parents of my students visit my home. It's good to have the friendships last even after the kid leaves.

Tomorrow is church! I love going to church. The church I attend is great. After church we all usually go out to eat, shop a little, and go see a movie before driving back to Palm Coast.

I think the plan for tomorrow is for us to film an ICTA Video after church before we go out to eat. We'll talk about the ICTA Women's Pro Tennis Team's wonderful mission trip to the Legg Masson Tennis Classic in Washington DC!

The girls literally took over the player's lounge areas as basically all the top ATP players received a free Gospel of John (The Message Version). You would be in shock to learn who they hit with, swapped phone numbers with, talked with... God used them in such huge ways.

There is so much I could write. But, I'll let them tell you on the video!

God bless,

Scott Paschal

Anastasia Writes Scotty from Kiev, Ukraine

Hello there! This is Scott Paschal. Much has been happening around the International Christian Tennis Association since I last checked in! I'll write a bit more than usual this week to help fill each of you in. God is so good and I want to tell you about all He has done!!

Today, I'd like to share with a card I received from Ana, my "adopted" daughter from Kiev, Ukraine who has trained with me now for nearly a year. Anastasia is back home in Kiev until August and I miss her tremendously.

I'll write more tomorrow or Friday about ICTA's amazing mission trips to Lexington, Kentucky, and then to Washington DC for the LeggMason Tennis Classic! Be sure to check back for updates! Here's my Ana...

Dear Scott,

First I want to say how much I miss you. All things that I do now coming from your teaching. I want to say THANK YOU so much for all things that you taught me. It helps me now a lot.

Everyone who is around me noticed that my actions are very mature. I grew in my tennis game and in my social life, too!

I got back to Ukraine where is everything is still the same (even worse), but I see all of that in different way. Now I know how to respond with different types of people and give them a thought in their minds about Jesus after my answer or reaction.

There is so many things I want to say about what works in my life that you taught me, but it can't fit all in this little (tiny) card. This is card I want to show you a tiny part of my appreciation for all your work in my life.

I'm always thanking God for you. Because it's not only in my life you did so much work & made a difference, but in each student's life that is in ICTA.

And you doing it all from your heart!!! Having you in my life-it's a blessing!

Love you & miss you a lot! You're unbelievable.

God bless you,

Anastasia
