Basketball Ministry Launches Tonight at Farrington Mission

Tonight we launch the new basketball ministry at Farrington. Previously, NEHBC men helped Farrington Baptist Church run their basketball league. It was an honor to serve another church by assisting FBC in that way.

Tonight, we debut basketball a la NEHBC. I'm already hearing rumors about FM being a registered site for the national Gillette 3-on-3 basketball tournament that takes place each February. Winners from our site will get to go to a regional location to play winners of other local sites with the possibility of advancing to play the other regional winners from around the country. Very exciting.

More exciting than that is the opportunity to build relationships with young men who have no gospel witness in their lives. Sports can often provide communication channels into people's lives. The vision for the basketball league is to see it become a conduit for the proclaiming of the gospel. May it be so.
