~ Sports Clinics ~


Innovative sports clinics (currently baseball and basketball) provide an evangelistic outreach through the use of professional and amateur sports instruction. People of all ages gather to hear the word of God communicated through sports themes. New and used equipment is donated from individuals, churches, and manufactures.

Jeff McDonald, former professional baseball player with the Seattle Mariners shares a typical day with the baseball mission team...
  A typical day with the baseball team starts with the preparation of food and water required to nourish our mission team for the day. We climb into the back of trucks we’ve loaded with food, baseball equipment, and a public address system. We travel anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours. After getting lost a minimum of three times, we arrive at the first clinic site. We are greeted by 30 to 300 boys, young men and occasionally girls, who are scattered across the baseball field waiting for the clinic to start. In remote towns, schools are sometimes halted so the kids can attend the event. After two hours of instruction, one of our missionaries spends 5 minutes talking to the crowd through an interpreter on a public address system about Jesus and how they might choose to receive Him as Savior. We pass out bibles and evangelical tracks written in Spanish. We arrange in advance for the local pastors to attend so those who indicate an interest in Christ can meet the pastors and integrate themselves into the church.

We bring new and used baseball equipment to pass out to the pastors who then distribute it to those who attend the clinics from the church. This equipment is typically not available to those who attend our clinics, it is a blessing to give to those in such need. They repay us with their smiles and gratitude which words cannot describe. A pastor in San Pedro has started a baseball league through his church with the equipment we have provided over the years.

We have seen hundreds profess to receive Jesus as the conclusion of our Dominican baseball clinics. We thank God that he has chosen us to be used in this unique way to bring the Gospel to the remotest parts of the each and to see the fruit of our labor as well. We continue to pray for His wisdom, guidance and blessings. We give Him all the glory. Amen.
