The Baseball camp

This was our first year for the baseball camps. We showed up the first day to no kids. The guys played around for an hour and a half by themselves. I (Courtney) was starting to get a bit discouraged but the men were all smiles and trusting in the Lord's time.

Then some kids showed up! We were excited. There were only 4 of them but that was better than none. So our camp was in full swing. Mike O. ran our camp for us and did an excellent job!

But the Lord wanted to grow the camp even more. Everyday we added more and more kids. By the end of the week we had 16 at camp. We had 20 names of kids who came throughout the week.

We taught the kids basic baseball skills and then we played games with them. They loved getting to play and they really loved getting to bat!!






At the end of the camp each kid was given a certificate and our contact information. Preston and I will be going out there Tuesday to follow up and keep those relationships strong.


Thank you baseball team. You all did a great job serving our Lord. The kids fell in love with you. Thanks for loving on them for a week. I am sure they will never forget you!
