Baseball5™ Sports Ministry and Youth Outreach

Baseball5™ has seen explosive international growth since its launch by the WBSC in 2017, and will make its debut in the Youth Olympic Games in 2026.

What is Baseball5?

Baseball5™ is a simple urban version of the classic games of baseball and softball, where only a rubber ball is required to play the game. This faster paced street discipline of the sport has been designed to appeal to youngsters and other fans across the world. The variant eliminates the need for traditional baseball equipment such as bats, gloves, helmets, etc. No pitcher is needed as hitting is done by hand. The sport maintains the uniqueness of baseball/softball while eliminating the structural complexities, thus making the game playable anywhere.

SOH 2023: Help Us Finish Strong!

Help us finish Summer of Hope 2023 strong!!!

In August, we are running three sports camps in England and Germany. Young people are getting the opportunity to hear and respond to the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. These camps are creating sustainable discipleship pathways for youth to build relationships in gospel-centered community, and take next steps in following Jesus beyond the camps. Please consider making a one time financial gift to help these summer camps finish strong.

Simply click on the DONATE link in the menu to make a secure online donation. Thank you for partnering with us to give gospel-destitute young people the opportunity to encounter Jesus through the universal language of sports.

Vova’s Prayer and The D.R.E.A.M. Initiative

Vova grew up in an orphanage in Ukraine. He was adopted and brought to America when he was 15-years old. In 2021, he had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic, where he shared his testimony at an orphanage and worked with a sports ministry for underserved children. That experience captured Vova’s heart for the Dominican people and he’s never been the same since. On another visit to the DR, Vova asked God for a vision of how he can help give opportunities to less fortunate children in the region. The D.R.E.A.M. initiative was born as an answer to Vova’s prayer.

The D.R.E.A.M. (Dominican Republic Equipping Athletic Ministries) initiative aims to equip local Dominican leaders/coaches with resources to help develop young athletes through gospel-centered programs, and to mobilize sports ministry mission teams to go and serve in the DR.

Some of the D.R.E.A.M. goals include:

Providing sports equipment for faith-based athletic programs
Funding construction and renovation projects for sports fields/venues
Equipping Dominican leaders/coaches/mentors with essential ministry tools for sports development and spiritual formation (discipleship)
Mobilizing mission teams to go and serve in the DR

Here are some ways that you can partner with the D.R.E.A.M. initiative:

GIVE: You can support the D.R.E.A.M. initiative by making a monetary donation or donating sports equipment.

GO: You can go and serve with our partners in the DR, bringing gospel-centered sports ministry to youth and children.

PRAY: You can pray for God’s work in the DR. Pray for the leaders we are resourcing, the youth/children being served, and the local churches we partner with to multiply disciple-making movements through sports ministry.
