Poznan Little League

We just got back a little while ago from our baseball team's (it's sort of a team) first official tournament. We spent the past two days playing a few games and spending a lot of time on the immaculate fields in Kutno, Poland helping our kids play a little better, have an awesome time, and see more of what this game is really all about.

Kutno is a bizarre place. I've blogged about it before. It's just so strange to play baseball in this little Polish town at this complex that has no rival that I know of in the world. Their fields (four professionally-manicured, game-ready, regulation size) are better than any I've ever played on. And again, we're talking about this little town in nowhere Poland. So, when the kids rolled into the complex they were blown away. That feeling just intensified as they began checking out the dugouts, bleachers, grass infields, etc.

We continue to pray that we keep the momentum going as we want this to be more than just baseball. We want to be good examples for the kids and of course want them to have a good time learning a new sport (man, they catch on quick!). But our real aim is to spread the hope of Jesus through the relationships baseball helps us build...both with kids and their parents.

Maybe next time you see something on TV, in the paper, at one of your kid's games, or wherever you'll think about the Poznan Little League and join us in praying that God will give us opportunities to share His love with the players and their families and that He will be glorified through everything as we "play ball"!
