In recent years, Joy’s Open Gym basketball ministry has involved over 250 hoopers who are artists, engineers or students by day and young basketball junkies on Thursday nights. This group has brought strangers together from as far as Missouri City to Atascocita,made them a basketball family. Many of the guys are from the immediate area and some even attended Joy’s mission activities as kids. Noe says, “Thursday night has become ‘church’ to some participants, since the evening often includes prayer time and a devotion from the Gospel of John. The group of guys that enjoy playing ball in an uplifting atmosphere of competitive, yet brotherly love seems to grow by the week.”
