The UPI Winter Baseball Training also was more than we could have imagined. We had great group of guys: Russ Ortiz, Mike Davis, Darin Blood and UPI founder Tom Roy. These guys’ testimonies in life and word were clear. The turnout was more than we thought possible. 27 Hungarian coaches, 70 teenagers, 30 kids, and 50 adults over the course of the 4 days of training received HIGH quality baseball instruction and heard the Gospel presented by professional baseball players!
A Sports Envisioning Day was great as about 60 people, mostly Hungarian church leaders, showed up to learn about doing Sports as Mission. We are forming a Sports Ministry Network with the Hungarian Evangelical Alliance!
Jim Leininger has arrived to help us with coaching for a month and our Spring Baseball Camp. We will be teaching baseball this week in Hungarian schools! Pray for the many opportunities we will have to share our lives and about Jesus.
Praise the Lord, the local government has given us land to build a baseball field! It only took 5 years. Read all about it at the following website: http://www.studylight.org/baseball/
Now we need to raise the $22,000 to build it. Already $5000 has come in! Please pray about giving for the field at the above site even if it is a small gift.
