This might be one of the most meaningful moments of my life.

I’m a local missionary from Fort Myers, Florida. Today, I received the official seal of the city of Ripacandida, Italy.
Only God could open a door like this.

This city has welcomed my family and our team with open arms. In its streets, around its tables, and on its basketball courts, I’ve met people whose love & authenticity makes a place far from home feel like family. Ripacandida, you have given us more than an honor. You have given us a place in your hearts where we will forever call home.

Standing there side by side with my brothers made the moment even more special. I wish I could fully explain what it meant to share it with them. Big thanks to Bob Wilson & Laura Bethel who’s always believed in me, and who’s always pushing me to greatness. Galatians 6:9!

Lord, have Your way. Let every door You open point people back to You.

“He must become greater; I must become less.” — John 3:30

I remember twelve years ago when people wouldn’t support our organization. My wife, Karyna Jackson, and I were left confused, discouraged, and hurt.

But God!

Today, we began our first day of camp in Italy and watched God move in a mighty way. What God has called you to do may not always make sense to others, but keep believing, keep trusting, and never give up!

We have been traveling to Ripacandida, Italy for around 8 years now, we never knew they had a basketball gym until last winter. We walked to the gym, me and my husband walked in the basketball gym, we called our friends Dwayne and Karyna with Hoops on Mission and we said we will one day have a basketball event in Italy 🇮🇹 today we put a camp on with 50 plus kids, hundreds of fans and families in the stands watching and then the game happened! This is God moving through my grandparents village and you never know until you try! Let's go! 🇺🇸 🇮🇹

When we step, we don’t step alone.
Jesus forever is on the throne.
Through every battle, wherever we go,
His light will shine and His love will show!
