Purpose. ๐ซถ๐ป
Basketball ๐ was created by James Naismith, a Christian man, at YMCA when it was still a Christian organization. From the beginning, it was used as a tool for evangelism, outreach, and character building.
What started with a soccer ball and peach baskets in 1891 became more than a game. It became a way to gather young men, teach discipline, build strong character, and create opportunities to share the truth.
Before basketball became a global sport, it was already being used with greater purpose. It was a tool to reach people, influence lives, and ultimately point people to Jesus.
