Greater Springfield FCA

The last day in the Dominican Republic included a day at the beach, some fun in the pool, and water slides at the Banana Aqua Park!

An amazing week was capped off with some FUN!

This afternoon the team was back in Higüey to lead our final youth clinic for the week. We have loved our time with the kids in the different communities!

Jacob shared a great message of encouragement to the group. He spoke boldly of the faith that he has in Jesus!

This morning we travelled to La Romana for our final game of the week. It has been a great experience learning more about the baseball culture in the Dominican Republic!

Zach shared that no matter what happens in life and in baseball we should never lean on our own understand. The Lord will make our path straight when we trust and follow Him.

It was a full day for the team and we loved every minute of it! We kicked the day off with Opening Ceremonies of a baseball tournament hosted by the local FCA, followed by an exhibition game against the tournament All-Stars. We pulled out the win and even got to meet the mayor of Higuey!

The team then travelled to Yuma to host another youth clinic. The kids were great to work with and we had a ton of fun! The Lord was glorified as Caleb and Sam shared a message with the kids.

The day ended with dinner at Luimi Chimy. The food was incredible and we had an awesome experience taking in the culture. What a day!

This afternoon the team travelled to Siete Lagunas for another youth clinic. Another fun day on the field capped off by Austin sharing his story with the kids.

After camp, we were able to get some swings in at FCA’s Swing Caliente batting cages in Higuey!

This morning NCA took on Felix Baseball Academy! The boys had a blast competing against a good team… not to mention it was also in front of 9 MLB scouts.

Keilynn shared about how no matter what our circumstances may be, Jesus is better than anything! One player from the other team made a decision to trust Jesus Christ as their Savior!

Praise the Lord!

The team wrapped up the day with a clinic in Villa Cerro with kids ranging from 6-15 years old. We had a blast running through station work and then ending with a game of Blitz Ball!

Lucas shared with the group that God has the ability to fulfill us rather than the things of this World!
