In our last newsletter, we talked about our pig farm livelihood project. Here is a fun opportunity for everyone to get involved.
We are at the start of our first Buhay Sports ministry trip of the summer. We had one game tonight (Friday night), and over the next 7 days, we will be playing in 15 more.
As we mentioned in our last newsletter, we are looking to expand our pig farm project so that we can continue to help the many people in one of our ministry areas who lost everything in Typhoon Ondoy.
We started on a small scale and have seen that the pig farm project is a great way to contribute to so many aspects of our ministry efforts in the Tanza area. We are now making plans to build a second, larger pig pen, and fill it with some baby pigs, but we need to raise $3000 to get us started.
Over the next week, we are going to be posting the scores to each of our games. Tonight, in our first game, we won 104-100. As we go along, we would like to ask those of you to pray about making a commitment to give a donation per point scored over the duration of the trip. I would estimate that in the 16 games, we will score about 1500 points. This means, we need to raise about $2 per point. No amount is too small, if everyone on our mailing list commits 1 cent per point (about $15 total), we will raise 50% more than our goal.
If you would like to get involved, you can confirm your donation by clicking the link below and filling in your per point commitment. This is just a survey so we can let everyone know our progress. At the end of our trip, we will report the final points scored and ask you to send a check to First Love International.

We know God will provide for this project in His time. Meanwhile, thanks for joining us in prayer as we ask God to bless our efforts to help local churches recruit and evangelize through basketball.
