Christian Tennis Mission Trip: Memphis Day 1


Greetings!

Welcome to my online journal! It is a privilege to have you join our mission trip online as International Christian Tennis Association reaches out to over 100,000 tennis fans, volunteers, workers, media, and tennis industry leaders at the prestigous ATP Regions Morgan Keegan Championships and WTA Cellular South Cup.

This tournament is exciting for me. I love tournaments which combine men and womens' events! A mini Grand Slam! And I love sharing His fame while growing my tennis ministry. Here in Memphis, ICTA will gain hundreds of new members which will establish ICTA Tennessee. In addition, ICTA will give-away hundreds, if not thousands, of Bibles, tracts, CDs, ICTA T-Shirts & more...

We'll lay the foundation for a 2008 Scott Paschal Tennis Tour Company tour to Memphis, as well as prepare for a 2008 ICTA Rally to Win
TM concert event in the main stadium. Plus, be sure to contact me to learn about our upcoming ICTA Tennessee tennis league, pastors and pros monthly prayer breakfast & tennis workout, and learn how you can become an ICTA volunteer for ICTA or the tournament in 2008.

Rachel Snelen and Melody Snelen are currently on ICTA Pro Tennis Team mission trips and are preparing to come back to Palm Coast...

ICTA's Rachel Snelen is currently leading an ICTA Women's Pro Tennis Team mission trip to an ITF $50,000 Challenger. Shantel earned her WTA ranking on this trip... making her the first Samoan to ever hold a WTA ranking. Also, two WTA ranked teen players Rachel met at the tournament have joined the team and will be traveling with the team to Mexico this March! In addition, a top 100 WTA player Rachel Snelen had developed a friendship with accepted a Bible... and another WTA player, a teen tennis prodigy, asked for a Bible during the player party. Plus, a catholic WTA player wants to learn about Jesus!!

Melody Snelen is leading an ICTA Junior Tennis Team mission trip to Tampa and an ICTA Women's Pro Tennis Team mission trip to Clearwater, Florida during an ITF $25,000 tournament. Melody Snelen and the team have distributed over 200 ICTA T-shirts, tracks, Christian books, and ICTA Academy info sheets to top players from around the world.

Growing the game and spreading His fame,

Scott Paschal
