Fill out the short term mission trips inquiry form below or contact us for more details.
Missions Partnership Opportunities
Your missional goals are important to us! Let’s set up a chat to discuss putting some strategies behind them.
- Use sports such as baseball, basketball, Frisbee, football, volleyball, or any game as a platform for building relationships and sharing the gospel.
- Minister to children through leading kids’ clubs, Vacation Bible School, puppet shows, crafts, Bible stories, sports, skits, and games.
- Be the hands and feet of Christ as you visit and minister to those that others may have forgotten in orphanages, hospitals, prisons (juvenile center ministry), and migrant/refugee communities.
- Assist the local church in outreach by handing out Bibles, street evangelism, door-to-door visits, or sharing the gospel through community movie nights.
- Provide tangible support through your work on various projects from painting, roofing, cement work, tiling, or whatever projects your local partner identifies in the community.
We would love to get to know you and learn more about how Breakaway can customize a short term mission trip tailored around the gifts and talents of your team. Breakaway can help you or your church experience a mission trip that is built on pillars of gospel-centeredness, long term relationships, and sustainable ministry partnership.
Because your group will be partnered with a local church or ministry, they will have the opportunity to meet the needs that local leaders have identified in their communities. By working alongside a local church, you can be assured that the work they are doing will be done with sustainability in mind.
We desire to see long term relationships formed between Breakaway sending teams and the communities we are serving in. To that end, we encourage our teams to return year after year to deepen the relationships formed during that first mission trip. Contact us today to connect with one of our missions consultants and begin planning the mission trip of a lifetime for you or your group!

Playing for an Audience of One: Sports Ministry Devotional
Most of us have heard of Babe Ruth, but few have heard of Babe Pinelli? Pinelli was an umpire in Major League Baseball who once called The Great Bambino out on strikes. When the crowd began booing in disapproval of the call, Babe turned to the umpire and said, “There’s 40,000 people here who know that the last pitch was a ball.” Pinelli responded coolly, “Maybe so, Babe, but mine is the only opinion that counts.”

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.
