Revival in this Town

This weekend we had the Baseball Camp Revival. It was an amazing time with everyone! The weather was great and we were able to secure a place that was perfect to host the revival. There is a club field that is directly across the street from the military base that hosts baseball camp. There, we have a meeting room, outdoor tables and place to grill. The grounds crew, a man, his daughter and her husband, were so friendly to us and are excited to see what happens next with "Baseball Camp."  We had approximately 25 players show up not counting the student leaders/volunteers and in all, with parents and volunteers there were around 40 people that joined us this past Saturday afternoon.

I may have said this before, because it has been on my heart a lot lately, but one of my main goals involves all the many people that we have made contact with over the past 3 year in baseball camp. It is to continue to build that connection throughout the year. It is incredible the amount of people that baseball camp can reach and no not many of them are going to immediately start coming to church, however if we can maintain a consistent connection between the church and those of Baseball Camp, at minimum, they have a consistent connection with followers and believers in Christ. My prayer is that this consistency would penetrate their hearts and lead them to the church and ultimately to Christ.

My Challenge to you is to be praying about this with me as I seek to be more creative as the winter seasons approaches and temperatures drop. This makes it very challenging to do any outdoor activities. An easy fix to this would be wiffleball in a gym or large meeting room. You would think in a place where outdoor activity weather is not easy to come by there would be an abundance of gyms or indoor platz. There are some, but the great demand for those places makes it nearly impossible to find a place. We spoke with a lady with the city and she said there is no chance at all for this year to get into a gym. Crazy, huh? I know that the Lord will make a way and so I ask that you pray with me for a place that we could go to on occasions in order that we might be able to maintain a consistent and reliable connection with both the players and their families.

In addition, I am praying that my time here is effective not just when spent at baseball or church events but the many people that I meet outside of church would be reflected to the amazing work that Christ is doing in Siegburg. There is one guy from the military base that is very interested in being involved in what happens next year at baseball camp. He is soldier located at the base in Siegburg and is very draw to the work that we are doing. For now it only stands on a social/community interest, but I pray as times are spent together with those of the church he would see the truth and the light of Christ and His saving grace!
