National Hoops Ministries was formed in 2004 as a result of the leading of God. Mike Washer was the youth pastor at Westgate Baptist Church in Spartanburg, SC for 5 years and God called him to start this new ministry with the purpose of reaching out to those who may have never heard the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

National Hoops was launched with the support of Westgate. God provided in miraculous ways every piece of equipment necessary needed to conduct tournaments around the country, including vehicles, trailers, heavy duty basketball goals, scoreboards, and a sound system.

God also provided a miraculous grand prize of the All-Star game for the teens to compete for. God filled up a schedule and has blessed with the salvation of many.

Today, National Hoops is expanding into foreign countries and is also addressing the need of discipleship through the National Hoops Camp.
