Sparks-A-Rama 2007

This year again, Sylvia and Jon had the pleasure of coaching a Sparks-A-Rama team from our church, Pleasant Valley North Baptist Church. We traveled north to Rossville, GA, and competed with seven other churches. Our kids did well, having a great attitude and having lots of fun. As you’ll see in the pictures, there was a lot of activity and a lot of smiles.
We heard a tremendous testimony from a 26-year-old woman diagnosed with breast cancer, and of her trust in Jesus Christ. She has finished chemotherapy and will soon begin radiation therapy. She stood before us, bandana over her bald head, Bible in her hand and tears in her eyes as she told the story of her life and followed it with the Romans Road, clearly presenting the gospel and laying out the way to salvation…Jesus Christ. Wow! What a way to start the day. I don’t know if there was a dry eye among the adults in the gymnasium when she finished.

The kids weren’t the only ones having fun. Even the coaches had to do an event! In fact, they had the referees and line judges come out and do the chicken dance for entertainment. We all had a lot of fun, and followed it with a trip to McDonald’s. Sparks-A-Rama 2007 was a great success!
