Bible and Basketball

Ever thought about Missions, but dismissed it because you couldn't think of any skills you had that God could use? Well, God can use all kinds of skills in reaching out to the World.

To the Rev. David Roland, sharing Christian faith is as much about action as it is about words.
So it’s no surprise that Roland, campus minister for Shorter College’s Baptist Student Union, is leaving today for northern Africa, where he’ll lead a group of volunteers in spiritual discovery through basketball.
“We can study the Bible and talk about it,” Roland said. “But we need to be doing it.”
Though the trip won’t officially be dubbed a mission trip, he explained, the group will have the opportunity to build relationships and “share what’s meaningful to them with others” through the sports clinics they will lead for 9- to 14-year-olds and through volunteer work they will be doing for an African school for the handicapped.

Every gift and skill can be used by God. What has God given you?
