SPORTS AMBASSADORS HARDEMAN TEAM



SPORTS AMBASSADORS HARDEMAN TEAM


God is good...God is great! We are experiencing the goodness of God in most of our games...The turn-out out of people during our games is really amazing; we average from 1,000 to 4,000 people in most of our games...almost 60% of our responses is that they want to be ministered, wants a bible study in their homes and wants to know more about Jesus Christ...This island is really ripe for the harvest...So far our Hardeman Family Team is hanging on, thanks to the leadership of the "bond of brothers" T.J., Tom, Todd and the only princess Terri, of course with the guidance of the Legend himself Tine & Jan...I am really blessed to be part of this tour...people are seeing a wonderful family playing basketball and at the same time sharing the love of Jesus Christ...

We still have six (6) more games to go before we end our trip and all of this games will be played starting on monday till wednesday morning at this tiny island called "Siquijor", known to be the haven of witchcraft and animistic practices here in the philippines...I know we will be in a great spiritual battle, we have a great God and the bible says "Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world"...

We look forward for the victories and the salvation we will have...continue to remember us in your prayers...

Shalom!

Our responses is really great, God is really touching the lives of many people. Please continue to pray for the Hardeman Family and me as we still have 6 more days to go on our trip.

SPORTS AMBASSADORS-SINGAPORE




A VISIT FROM OUR AUSSIE FRIENDS...


Last June 5 & 6, our dear friends from Perth, Western Australia Greg Beacham and Mike Valenti came to visit the family. The last time we were together was during our trip to Negros and Cebu last December & January.

It was indeed a wonderful time of fellowship and the encouragement they have given to us. Greg has been a missionary/teacher at Faith Academy, Manila for the last one year. They are going back to Perth, WA this coming July 01, 2006. For sure, we will miss the family very much. Mike Valenti was just here for a missions trip with the Sports Ambassadors in Mindanao.

We are so blessed to have them as our ministry partners. Greg will be going back to Perth, WA bringing with him the burden of having more missions trip with SA Western Australia to the Philippines.

Thank you so much Greg & Rebekah for the love you have to my fellow countrymen. Indeed, you are real partners in the ministry.

We love you mate, hope to see you again soon…

Sports Ambassadors - Singapore Team



Hello from Cebu City, the queen city of the south...So far our ministry games have been very exciting and close games. Our Ventures for Victory/Sports Ambassadors High School team from Singapore have been a blessing to the differnt local churches who have coordinated the games especially the different chinese evangelical churches who have helped us organized the trip. They have done a great job in setting up the activities.

So far, we have played nine (9) games in the different schools, barangays and towns in the area. Most of our games were well attended by the local people. We still have six (6) more days to go with our trip before the boys will go back to Singapore.

We hope by the end of the trip, we will be able to reach close to 10,000 people for the Lord Jesus Christ.

Please continue to pray for us that God will give us extra energy we need during the last days of our trip.

To our SA team from Singapore, thank you for coming...

Stephen's Voice Recital



Our graduation gift to Stephen Christian last March, 2006 was a 12 session voice lessons at the Patrick, The Music Studio.

Last June 04, Sunday the PTMS had their voice recital activity at the Grand Men Seng Hotel were Stephen Christian was one of the twelve participants.

Grace and I together with our other sons Brian & JJ attended this memorable activity in Stephen’s singing career being his first recital. We were just too excited to see him perform.

Stephen really did very well in his performance. We all went home feeling very proud that we saw how he has improved his singing ability. We encourage Stephen to continue with his training which he is looking forward to it for the next three (3) months.

We took some pictures of Stephen during his performance and also together with his voice professor Mr. Patrick L. Seras.

Keep it up son, we are so proud of you!
