OVER THE YEARS (by Sam Finley)
-
 God
has blessed me more than anyone I have ever met! Since 1986,
my first trip, hundreds of people have received Jesus!
Sports Reach is a wonderful vehicle to travel in! In one
country alone, 254 souls have been added to His kingdom!
In August 2001, our basketball team was in a very remote village.
There was a barber/beauty shop in our hotel and we were
offered free shampoos and haircuts. All the people there

I was offered a shampoo, then I was told I could us a haircut. The
owner said her husband would cut my hair.
