I love table tennis, commonly known as ping pong or as “the best indoor sport ever for fat guys over 30 years old”.  Recently I had the opportunity to meet and get to know Antonio Ortiz, a guest at a youth camp I spoke at last month.  We had many heated battles of ping pong and I finally beat him…on the 10th game.  The last night of camp I did not sleep good and I could not get Antonio off my mind.  I had watched him listen intently at all the services but could tell he was not totally connecting to the message.  I woke up Friday morning with a great feeling of despair for his soul.  As camp was winding down and everyone was preparing to leave, I pulled Antonio aside for one last talk.  That morning, he realized his need for Jesus and got saved!  Only God could use ping pong to burden one heart for another.  Only God could use ping pong as a connection point to get His message across to one who needed to hear it!  Please pray for Antonio that he will grow quickly and strong in his new found faith.
