New Year for the Baseball Academy!

2013 is going to be a HUGE year for our Sports ministry. We opened up our practices on January 7th, and our coaches have enjoyed having lots of new faces as well as almost all of our players from last year!

Our oldest age group (roughly 15-19 years old) has seen some of the most amazing spiritual and physical growth in the 6 months I've been there. Multiple kids have accepted Christ and many others have been much more active and interested in going to church. I see this as a direct result to having our 4 coaches being able to spend lots of quality time with them due to the smaller group size. One of the biggest blessings/encouragements to us in this new year is that we have almost doubled in size with this group by adding 15 new kids! These kids came over from a local coach who took a job as a regional scout for the Toronto Blue Jays, and he told all of his players that they should look into joining with our program because he believes in what we're doing! 

Please pray specifically for this group of guys and our coaches, that even with the increase in numbers that there will still be great spiritual growth and also on-the-field growth as well. I am so excited to get back on Saturday to see our guys and catch up and start sharing the great vision we have for 2013!

God bless
