Int'l Christian Tennis Association California Day 9


This beautiful girl is ICTA's own, Melody Snelen. Mel is one special person. She is a missionary at heart. Mel is also a WTA ranked pro player.

Right now, Melody is working as a missionary for us in Indian Wells. So great to have someone of her integrity and caliber heavily involved with our ministry.

Since 1999, Mel and her twin, Rachel, have used their sport in a big way to share their faith. Even many years before meeting me, Joy Snelen, their mother, had these tremendous twins sharing their faith through the family music ministry and they all traveled around the country together.

Rachel is currently leading a missionary team deep into the heart of Mexico. Her team is traveling not only to share the Gospel to those they meet, but also to bring awareness to something very evil in the world... the sex slave trade industry where children worldwide are being abused.

Both Rachel and Melody Snelen are very special people. I'm glad to introduce you to them, if only via this blog. Please keep them both in your prayers as God continues to grow and develop them for His purposes.

Now, about today! WWWOOOOOWWWWWWW!!! What a huge day!!

This had to have been a record breaking day for gaining new memberships! Awesome. I am having a blast! Meeting new people, sharing information about my ministry, gaining new friends and partners, laughing... and watching fantastic tennis.




This group of ladies pictured was been a blast! They're coming with me on my tennis tour to the 2007 US Open. In fact, my tennis tour company signed up 19 new ICTA California members today to come with us to the 2007 US Open!

Our new ICTA California members will have a blast with our new ICTA Memphis members during the 2007 US Open!!

Enjoy some pics and I'll see you in a minute...

Great job Mel!

Three amigos and new ICTA California members!

Near record breaking numbers!!!

Dads, sons, daughters... we were swamped all day.

This guy was a lot of fun.

Great to meet you folks!

To say this has been an amazing day would do no justice to the actual day.

One really fun aspect of today was that it started out with a phone call from a guy who let me know a ministry from China just sent out a mass email about ICTA! I thought that was awesome! He forwarded me the email he received and I really enjoyed reading it.

God has a way of using all situations for his good. Good or bad, all situations can glorify Him. Have you ever heard the phrase..."There is no such thing as bad press." That is so true. God is revealed in all situations if you know how to see Him. David Nasser's new book, Glory Revealed, really hits home on that subject. www.gloryrevealed.com.

Bill K from Atlanta, so awesome to see you again and catch up. Bob K from Hong Kong, thank you for the extra advertising and motivation you have brought to me and my supporters. Seth, so wonderful to meet you and get your company involved. Joy S, thank you for raising such incredible kids. Sue B, today is your birthday!

Growing the game and sharing His fame,

Scott Paschal
