Basketball Clinic

Here is the group from the clinic in Santa Barbara. This was the boys clinic. The day before it was a girls clinic. One of the girls always shared a testimony and Rogerio finished up sharing about how to have a personal relationship with Jesus. When Rogerio is talking everyone is listening.

Simone, Tais and Juliana came to help.
