Mission Team Off for Omaha

Just before midnight, I prayed with the Associational Mission Team that will be ministering in Omaha this week. The men will be assisting the 9th Inning Ministry.

During the College World Series, which began June 13 and end June 23, the 9th Inning Ministry will give out a whopping 70,000 bottles of free ice-cold water along with sports magazines, baseball testimonial cards and pamphlets explaining how to have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

These give-a-ways will be offered in various locations around the stadium, concerts following games, at the free baseball clinics, team breakfasts, the Old Market area, and around the city. Over 750 volunteers participate each year handing out cold water in the name of Jesus.

Since the University of Southern Mississippi will be playing in the College World Series, the guys are excited. I challenged them to think how God may use them over 1000 miles away from home to minister to folks from our area.

On Thursday, the men will complete a community clean-up project. Our men are dedicated to make a difference for Christ in Omaha.

Please pray for Mark Elliot, the Director of Missions for the Baptist Association in Omaha. That Association is providing housing for our men. I know god will use our team.
