Igniting A search for God through ​Community Basketball

What ?

My project is a basketball 3v3 tournament. What that entails ​are teams of 5 but 3 people would be on the court at a time ​with 2 benches. I want to utilize my passion for basketball to ​encourage the Thai community to indulge in Christianity. To ​get curious about Christianity with a testimony that I would ​share to them before the tournament begins. With a quick ​prayer.

Why ?

Because of my strong love for sports, basketball was my choice. I've wondered why ​shouldn't I share the gospel with all the folks I come into contact with during the year if ​sports are the only reason I see them. My idea, I would use basketball as a tool to share the ​gospel with attendees of the 3v3. Because basketball is becoming more and more popular ​in Chiang Rai.

Fundraising

My fundraising goal would be 25,000 baht. The sum is to pay ​for the shirts for the players who won the tournament, ​including the volunteers that aided in my project, pay the refs ​hired, and pay for banners, and trophies that would be ​presented to the winners of the tournament. The runner-ups ​and the 3rd place and lastly the prize money for the top 3 ​winners.
