Christian Tennis Association Memphis - Day 4

This is an International Christian Tennis Association all out missions day! It's not even 5pm, but where do I start. So much has happened...

Ok, let's start with the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Maybe doesn't make sense with this blog, but it has a place. Here's what I have planned... after Memphis, my staff and tennis academy are driving to Birmingham to stay at Nasser's house where we'll rest a couple days.

On Tuesday evening we're planning to go to a Chris Tomlin concert in Chatanooga. Louie Giglio is the speaker of that event... and both he and Chris are pretty darn indescribable with their talent. After the event on the 27th, we'll crash at Nasser's then head home to beautiful Palm Coast, Florida.

Now, about the Grand Canyon.... We'll have 4 days of kick-back here in Florida, then we're off to the Pacific Life Open in Indian Wells, California. But, before we get to the world's 6th largest tennis tournament... we're going to have a blast at the Grand Canyon!

The plan is to fly into Phoenix, rent cars, and boogie up to Flagstaff, Arizona, rent some rooms, then spend a couple days exploring the incredible Grand Canyon while passing out Bibles and tracks!

Then, we're driving to Las Vegas, Nevada for an ICTA Las Vegas meeting and to have a blast witnessing to people on the fabulous Las Vegas Strip!!

From there we'll drive to the Pac Life Open, find our wonderful host church and host home family, unpack our stuff, and set up our booth!

This is awesome... hanging with Nasser... mission trip in Memphis... Tomlin concert...exploring the Grand Canyon... chillin in Las Vegas... world class tennis training the whole time... mission trip to Pac Life Open... speaking in churches... hanging out with my students... ICTA gaining hundreds of new members... live video taping for our show....

ICTA Missions rock!

My tennis academy students LOVE IT!! What tennis academy anywhere in the world is a cool as the Christian one here with ICTA!!!??? ICTA tennis ROCKS!

To wrap things up for today's blog... keep us in your prayers as your International Christian Tennis Association prepares to reach out to over 350,000 people during the next few weeks. My tennis academy students are going to experience America and missions in a way they could never have imagined! So great to see God working in their lives!

Growing the game and sharing His fame,
