David Martin Raises $765 for Kids in Kenya

JamQuest North Carolina was an astounding success. It surpassed my expectations in just about every way. We had 31 people and 10 teams play in the tournament, and about 60 people there total. Our goal was to raise $500, but we soared past that goal and raised $765! The biggest thing I learned about this whole experience is how enjoyable it is to serve the poor and needy. Once I got over my laziness holding me back, I realized how much fun it was to organize and run this event, and how rewarding it was to see the difference we were able to make in impoverished children’s lives across the world. It was so amazing to see a group of people thousands of miles away from Kenya, coming together to help children across the world just by playing basketball. I definitely think that others should get involved and not be afraid to host their own JamQuest tournament. There is nothing special about me, I’m just a regular guy that goes to college in North Carolina, and yet God was able to use me to make a difference in the world. No matter who you are, you can make a difference too, and you’ll be surprised how fun it is!
