Hi everyone,

My name is Jarrett, and I’ve been given an incredible opportunity this summer to travel to the Philippines on a 15-day Christian mission trip through Embrace & Reach International.

Basketball has always been a huge part of my life. It’s opened doors for me, shaped who I am, and given me a platform I don’t take for granted. Now I have the chance to use that same game for something bigger than myself, to serve others and share the love of God.

On this trip, I’ll be part of a basketball outreach team made up of college players. We’ll be playing competitive games across different cities, often in front of large crowds. But the games are just the beginning.

At halftime of each game, we’ll be sharing messages of hope, praying with people in the crowd, and inviting them into a relationship with God. We’ll also be running free basketball clinics for kids, building relationships, and being a positive example on and off the court.

Beyond basketball, the mission includes serving in communities through things like:

• Visiting schools and orphanages

• Supporting local outreach efforts

• Encouraging and connecting with people from different walks of life

For me, this trip is about more than basketball. It’s about stepping out of my comfort zone, growing in my faith, and making an impact in people’s lives in a real way.

To make this trip possible, I’m working to raise funds to cover travel, lodging, meals, and transportation. Any support truly means a lot, whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this with others.

If you’re not able to give, I would really appreciate your prayers, for safe travel, open hearts, and that God would work through our team in a powerful way.

Thank you so much for your support. It truly means more than you know.

Jarrett
