I got to see a Harlem Globetrotter!

^ My million dollar bill, signed by Seth Franco!

Hello my fellow blog readers! Well, the title says it all! So, some may be saying "What is a Harlem Globetrotter?" Wait a minute, you don't know what a Harlem Globetrotter is??!!! huuuuh, I'm speechless!
Good! At least I'm not alone...lol. A Harlem Globetrotter is a basketball player who does all kinds of tricks while he plays basketball. For example, spinning a ball on your finger for a long amount of time.
So anyway, my mom and dad decided, two weeks in advance, that they we're going to surprise us and take us to see a former Harlem Globetrotter. This man had actually became a Christian and goes around sharing the Gospel with people. So on the way up, me, my brothers, and sister were trying to figure out what the surprise was. You know how it is when you don't know where you're going. So, we get there and mom says, "We're going to see a former Harlem Globetrotter, guys!" And my brothers go "Cool! Wow!".

So, my response is like my brothers, right? Wrong! My response is like, "What is a Harlem Globetrotter?" Yep, that's me!
So, anywho, we watched Seth Franco, the former Globetrotter, do the coolest tricks EVAH! It was like so totally awesome! But...that's not the best part! The best part was all the Gospel tracts given out and how it happened.

Before Seth went up to do his tricks and talk, a friend of ours handed him a million dollar bill tract, which you can find at the
Way of the Master website (don't worry, I'm not a radio host...lol). So Seth puts the million in his pocket and walks up to the stage. After awhile, he asks the audience to guess how old he is. He then states that he has CASH to give away for the person who guesses the right answer! Yep, you guessed it, he gives the million to a little boy who guessed the right answer.

That opened the door for the Gospel! Then everyone wanted one of those millions that the Harlem Globetrotter had. We were handing out millions left and right when it was over. AND, not only that, but everyone wanted their million dollar bill SIGNED by Seth Franco. That was sooooooooo awesome! God is absolutely amazing! That means that the millions will be kept and possibly read over and over again! WHAT A GOD!!!! Oh, and I even got a million signed!

Seth, after he did his basketball tricks, told people about Christ. But, as Todd Friel says, it was a total dog's breakfast. He led people in the "sinners prayer". It broke my heart to pieces! BUT, another amazing thing happened! My mom gave him "True and False Conversions", which you can also find at the
Way of the Master website , and he also got a Paul Washer sermon!!!!
So, please pray for Seth, that his message will be changed so that sinners will understand their sin before a holy God. You can find him at his website here:

In Christ,
