Hi all!! My name is Jordan Giusti and I am about to graduate from California Baptist University at the end of April with a degree in Kinesiology. I am very passionate about Sports Ministry and playing the game of basketball. I have an amazing opportunity to go serve and play basketball in the Philippines with "Embrace and Reach International". To learn more about this ministry go to www.embraceandreach.org . This mission is sponsored by Family Church of Praise in Tracy, California. 

It will be a once in a lifetime experience because not only will I get to share God's love and do His work, but I will have the chance to play the sport I love in front of thousands of people. There are a number of other functions of ministry that I will be able to participate in when I am there. Some that are appealing to me include home building, prison/jail ministry, sports ministry, campus ministry, and leadership training. As a member of a visiting American basketball team, I will have a great platform to impact the lives of many people in the Phillippines.

We will get to play in 10 games against a combination of competitive teams in the Philippines. We will also host and conduct free basketball clinics in various communities and different cities. 

The money raised will go towards the expenses of my trip. The trip will be from July 1st- July 17th. Any help that I can get from you guys would be greatly appreciated. The most important thing that you guys can do to help is to PRAY for my trip and for everyone who is involved in it. Also, any donations that you guys can make towards my trip would be amazing. If any of you guys have any questions regarding how you can help in other ways or what my trip is about, go ahead and message me.

God bless!
