Story number 4 for 27 Sep 2000

We turn next to the Olympics where missionaries are having an impact on the lives of Australian youth through basketball clinics. Boyd Hall is with the Southern Baptist International Mission Board. Hall is one of the 600-plus volunteers staying at Windsor District Baptist Church’s “Tent City” Olympic village. He came to Australia as part of the South African Sports Federation. Hall says the goal is to teach kids good basketball skills, build relationships with them and then present the Gospel. He says it’s been very effective.
