VOM Ministry at the MOMUSA Sports Festival July 2-4

Joyce and I are in Scotts Valley/Santa Cruz staying at my brother's house right now. Matt, Kristin and Milo are with us until tomorrow and we are enjoying spending some time with them. We will be meeting this week with some potential short term missionaries here and then we will go to my high school reunion on Saturday before we head back to Redding to speak at the 1st Baptist Church there on Saturday. In the meantime my goal is to get caught up with my posts and fully report on the VOM trip by the end of July. So here are some pictures and comments about the VOM ministry at the MOMUSA festival at Point Loma University in San Diego over the 4th of July weekend.
The Micronesian Outreach Ministries USA festival is a pretty big annual event. Groups came from Pohnpei, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah, Arizona and all over California to attend the 3 day sports-worship-evangelistic event.
The basketball tournament is a big part of the event. PIU won one game and lost two in the tournament

The girls participated in the volleyball tournament. They didn't bring shoes so they had to borrow some to play.












Justin hits a free throw to keep us in the game.
Joyce and Milo took care of the PIU display.


I met quite a few of our alumni. Here I am posing with Alter Balualay
The VOM team ministered in the Saturday night program.
Keiny gave a great challenge to "stand for God" within the activities of daily life. We really enjoyed the conference. I am hoping that PIU can participate in future MOMUSA conferences as one of the sponsors.

Wish the group would've traveled here to Portland OR. Please consider that for next trip.
