Hispanic Ministry Baseball Game Minimize

I am a school bus driver for Round Rock Independent School District and I am also part of the Hispanic ministry in Gateway. God gave me the blessing of growing speaking Spanish and now that I live in the US He put me in a job where Spanish is needed to communicate with the children that ride my bus.

About two weeks ago I was thinking on ways I can bring the news of Jesus Christ to my children in the bus and their families and God told me to just share with them the things I love most. That's why I decided to invite them to come to a park close to where they live to play baseball and soccer. When I invited them, everyone was very excited but I was expecting for just some three or four families to show up. To my surprise everyone was there and then some extra friends and relatives.

We were around 60 people in total including children and adults, we played boys vs. girls, adults and children mixed, adults only. Everybody brought something to share, a watermelon, chips, drinks etc. At the end of the day everyone was asking if we could keep doing this because of all the fun we had, some were planning on buying gloves and bats and when I mentioned that we have a small group where we study the bible some of them wanted to hear more about it. (Probably my small group is not going to be small no more).

I encourage you to just listen to God's voice, when He leads nothing can be wrong and your life is going to be filled with joy, purpose of life and peace.
