Baseball Ministry

Baseball season was in full swing this spring and summer !!!  Albert would practice with the guys each Tuesday evening when he could, and attend all the games.  The baseball team is developing so well..............to think they were just a group of guys interested in this crazy game 4 years ago.  Now, they are officially a team in the Polish Baseball league, they have uniforms, and all their own equipment (thanks to some generous churches from the states!).  Please pray with us for the same developmental progress spiritually.  These guys know about Albert's faith and he gets quality bus time with them to talk about spiritual things.......................but no seekers are stepping into Bible study with him yet.

 

Below are some pics of a game about 1.5 hours outside of Krakow, a small city with real baseball fields !!!  The whole fam went to support our Krakow Kings.

 

Short-staffed means that Albert gets to umpire instead of coach his team.

 small, cold fan base........

 

Speaking of spiritual progress in the baseball ministry, we had a couple come to Krakow from our home church in San Antonio to work with the baseball team -- the Bobbits.

 

We showed them our city.........

 

 

The kids thought it was fun to "pick the nose"

Each evening, Albert and Danny held a baseball camp.

 

 

 

Here they joined us for our team prayer time at IKEA.

Peggy got involved in ESL ministries while the guys were with the baseball team.

 

 

We had a great time with the Bobbits and loved watching them learn to love the Polish people !!!  We are thankful for their investment in our family and the people we love here in Krakow !!!
