Play Ball!

Pastor Tovar (who runs all of our non-Juarez mission sites) communicated a special need when he and his wife were here a couple of weeks ago: baseball equipment! What a cool way to spread Christ's love, especially for a baseball fanatic like me! Chris and I have been jumping at every chance to spread the word since we heard about the opportunity, but baseball equipment is awkward and heavy to ship so our success has been limited. We were super-excited then, when a servant event leader responded to one of our facebook pleas with a check to purchase some stuff here. THANKS! Chris had fun at Wal-Mart and Academy the other day (see below), but unfortunately discovered that baseball equipment is expensive! Pastor Tovar's fledgling team is still in need of:

--enough gloves for an entire 9-man defense
--a full set of catcher's gear
--at least 5 more batting helmets
--1st, 2nd, and 3rd base
--a few more bats and balls

Let us know if you can help or know someone who can! If we get them outfitted sooner rather than later maybe they could help the Cardinals climb out of their 8 game deficit...



Until next time, blessings!
