We had a great first week of practice and the first games will be played on Saturday, January 16th.</p>
<p>God has brought <strong>over 360 children</strong> to our gym to hear the saving gospel of Jesus Christ! Many of them will taste and see that the Lord is good for the first time this season. In order to equip our entire church to pray for Upward basketball, our recreation intern, Steven Hill, has written a three-week prayer guide.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.fbcbelton.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/2010-upward-prayer-guide.pdf" target="_blank">Click here to download the guide</a> and view it on your screen or print it at home. Please join us in praying for the gospel of Jesus Christ to be proclaimed boldly through Upward, resulting in an overwhelming wave of God’s grace.</p>
