Averaging one or two games a day, the Sports Ambassadors played against church teams and colleges. Fulton said they even played against some national players who were on the church teams. The crowd sizes ranged from 10 to 2,500 audience members. The Sports Ambassadors also ran basketball clinics in grade schools. They taught the children basics, such as dribbling, ball handling, shooting and rebounding.
Basketball is on the rise internationally.
Sports ministry is really coming around in Malaysia. Another ministry opportunity came when the team formed a friendship with Gerald, a Malaysian homeless man. Gerald was a Christian, but couldn't get a job because he wouldn't convert to the Islamic religion, according to Fulton. He'd been talking about going to Singapore and getting a job. He was crying when he left.
