This year’s Volunteer Student Missions Basketball team will travel to the Philippines to work with Evangelistic International Ministries and local BMAA missionaries. The team will lead in 3 man tournaments, basketball camps for younger children, play exhibition games, lead in youth camps and youth rallies and speak in local churches. Each year the team prepares a service project to benefit the local mission. This year the team will distribute Shepherd Bags to local children.
