March Madness


It’s March Madness Month!

This is the month we kick off our Hope Thru Hoops Missions Drive. This year we have designated it to be Hope Thru Hoops Haiti. This is an amazing way to get your kids, teens, and families involved with raising funds for missions.


Last year, Pastor Chad & Stacey Pond and the Kids on the Rock from Solid Rock Family Church raised $1750 to go toward Hope Thru Hoops Philippines. This year, their goal is $2000 for Haiti.


Below you will see signed basketballs that will be hand delivered to children and teens in Haiti. Each child attending Kids on The Rock this past Sunday signed their name on a basketball and soccerball. After signing the balls to commit themselves to Hebrews 6:18...

“We who have run for our very lives to God have every reason to grab the promised hope with both hands and never let go. It's an unbreakable spiritual lifeline…” -Hebrews 6:18


They learned they are a spiritual lifeline to their peers in Haiti. Afterwards the students and staff laid their hands on the sport balls and prayed that these would be God’s tools to bring hope and happiness. We gave the students a challenge: if they quote the memory verse and bring their Bible to church every Sunday in March, we will donate $1 per child.

We challenge you to participate in Hope Thru Hoops Haiti as a District, as a local church, or you as an individual.

What are some ways you can raise money for Haiti?
