It's Monday again and the start of another week and an opportunity to minister to the national karatedo team. Today, the team learned the value of prayer in for their personal life and how to make it effective. Kuya Totie facilitated the discussions with supporting bible verses. It was such a joy to see a group of karate athletes pray for them selves as well as for their team.

The team also shared things on what they are thankful for in their lives. The Bible says to give thanks for everything, and that is exactly what these athletes did. They shared their joys and their set backs. Coach David Lay also mentioned the challenges that he is facing this year as a coach and as a son to his Mom who has stage four cancer. Despite of the predicaments that he is facing, He is still able to give thanks to Jesus and continue to put his faith in Him. Coach Maricar also shared some of her thoughts and feelings as a female coach which led her to tears. It is so amazing that athletes such as them are able to express what is in their hearts. Trully, the Lord works in ways you can never know and you will just be in awe at how He works in the lives of people, and that includes the national Karatedo Team.
