11 yr old team minsters to homeless

Hey everyone,

I mentioned yesterday that one of our ministered teams had done a ministry project in downtown Atlanta.  Below you will find a note from our coach and a few photos.  I'm convinced that God is using these baseball teams/players to reach our communities.  Thanks again for your commitment!

Mike,

This past Saturday our team headed down to Atlanta to join several churches in passing out food and clothing to the homeless.  Even more important, we had the opportunity to pray and minister to them.  The event touched our hearts and made so many of us in attendance feel lucky to have the “basics” that God has provided us.  Many do not know that we have 25,000 homeless people in the city of Atlanta alone – so the opportunity to earn a jewel in our crown is very close to home.

My hope is that our players and parents alike will give thanks to the many blessings God provides us with and do everything we can to spread his word and share our good will.  

God Bless you this Christmas!

11U FCA Redhawks

10u FCA Softball

I am excited to announce that the south side of Atlanta will have their first FCA softball team.  Coach Darby Steele from McDonough has felt the call to start a 10u FCA travel softball team.  These young ladies will be ministered to through their coach on a weekly basis.  Not only will they learn the game of softball and compete in Atlanta area tournaments they will also be involved in weekly devotions/bible studies.

Darby will be holding team tryouts on Saturday, Jan. 7, 2012 from 2-4pm @ the Salem Baptist Sports Complex in McDonough.  Registration begins at 1:30pm and tryouts are of course FREE.

This will be a 10u (2001 B) team.

For further info please email Coach Darby Steele.  Her email address is:

Coaches Clinic

On behalf of our baseball board of directors and myself we want to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday.  As you spend time with your family and friends our prayer is that you will also take time to thank our Lord for the blessing He has given us.  Without Him nothing is possible.

We are excited to launch our first coaches clinic for 2012.  Attached is the brochure/flyer for the Jan 14^th clinic which will be held in Lilburn, Ga.  Last year this clinic had 160 coaches attend from every level of baseball.  If you know someone that would benefit from this please feel free to forward.  Not only will these coaches learn about the game of baseball but more importantly they will learn about the game of LIFE and God’s game plan.

For those of you on the south end of Atlanta don’t worry.  We have a clinic coming in February for you as well.  That info will follow in the next few weeks.

Happy Holidays!

Hey everyone,
First I want to say Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to all of you.  As we take time to spend time with our family and friends over the next few days, may we also stop and spend time giving thanks to God.  Without Him there would be no blessings.


As most of you know this has been a crazy year for me and my family.  God has completely changed our path and we couldn't be more grateful.  I am thankful to all of you for your patience as this new journey has caused me to take a step back in our endurance team/ministry.  I look forward to seeing what God does in 2012!


Lastly, after speaking with several of you it appears that our schedules during December is jam packed.  We have decided to move our season ending fellowship to January.  We hope to have a date within the next week or two.  Hopefully this will allow all of us to have a little more "free" time after Christmas to really enjoy getting together and not be rushed. Talk soon!
