The Vanguard University Lady Lions from Southern California, USA came to the Philippines last May 12-19, 2007 to play against top collegiate/university women's team in Manila. I was requested to join the trip and minister during our games.
The Lady Lions had a record of five consecutive Golden State Athletic Conference championship titles, eight total conference championship titles and nine NAIA Division I women's basketball national tournament appearances. Our record was 9-0 but what was important was the opportunity to share the gospel. Only half of the total line-up came but still they went home undefeated. They were led by their playing coach Liza "Playmaker" Faulkner, Jessica "The Matrix" Richter, Tiari "The Catwoman" Goold, Jaclyn "The Tank" Bleid, Lindsey "The Blur" Rinke, Lacy "The Fox" Burns, Laura "The Jewel" Job and Kelly "The Tower of Power" Schmidt.
A lot of opportunities for ministry and bible studies have been opened during our games and fellowship with the players and school officials. Praise the Lord!
The players had a great time and even the local church that we worked with were thankful for the partnership we had we them.
Mabuhay VU Lady Lions!
