we drew a large crowd not just because we were white. We had a jeepney(Jeep bus) loaded with sound equipment drumming buckets and basketballs. It had a basketball hoop that came off the jeepney. We set up a game where the kids would dunk on a hoop we would hold up while standing on a bucket. wed get them to do all sorts of trick dunks on it. The girls on are team had chalk and coloring pages for the girls. Eric set up sound equipment and pumped out some music for the crowds that were gathering. We had some buckets and drumsticks which we gave out and we started making some beats on the side. some break dancers from the community showed up and I did some gymnastics with them and learned some breakdancing. It was an interesting ministry, going into squatter areas and just chillen playing ball dancing rapping drumming, whatever tools we had to use we used.
We started a 3 on 3 basketball contest and formed a big circle around the court for everyone to watch the locals play ball. After we had a dunk contest on our hoop which was a bit shorter then a normal hoop. I joined in and took 2nd in the dunk contest definitely alot of fun. Ricky rapped again and had the guys translate the message of the his raps. Then Marc shared the gospel with the kids and we passed out the wordless bracelets. I lost track of how may we gave out this week over 3 thousand by now.
That night we came back earlier then usual and got to eat a meal with some of our team who was working at VBS. It was nice to eat a dinner with the team. Big prayer for this day and still now is my shoulder, doing tricks with the teenagers messed up my shoulder which has been injured since summer before junior year of high school from gymnastics. But its usually fine somehow popped it out while doing one handed handstand jumps with them.
