Basketball and the gospel

One of the neat opportunities I've had over the years is to play basketball on campus a couple of times a week with students, faculty, and staff. Two weeks ago a new guy came to reGeneration, named Kenny. He comes from a Buddhist home, but he's not particularly religious. He is, however, interested, which is why he checked out reGen. Turns out he's a good basketball player, and I invited him to our weekday noon hoops.

Last week we got to play together twice, which was a blast. It has enabled Kenny and I to get to know each other better. He's even considering going to Milan, Italy, for spring break with us on a mission trip! Basketball not only has provided me with a way to stay in shape, but also a way to connect with so many people over the years!
