A MESSAGE FROM ELI:
I've heard many positive things about the DR trip. Everyone has said it's a great experience and a lot of fun. I want to go on this trip to help other people and also to play baseball with other kids while showing what FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) Impact stands for. I think it will be a lot of fun helping people alongside my teammates and it'll be fun to meet new people. Thanks for supporting us to help make this possible!
A MESSAGE FROM RYAN:
We are so grateful to have found the FCA Impact baseball organization. To have a baseball program where Eli could grow his baseball skills with great teammates and with coaches who truly care about the players has been a wonderful experience. We love that FCA Impact's mission is to "Train young men in baseball, life, and faith through practicing excellence on the field, serving others, and glorifying Jesus Christ in all things."
The mission trip to the Dominican Republic is one of the opportunities that makes Impact unique. This is the premier trip for our organization - a chance to serve people in the DR while also building relationships with kids there through baseball. My hope is this will be a life-changing experience for Eli, his teammates and all of the dads who are going - below are the goals for the trip so that you can see why we are going. While the team and organization are working hard to raise the funds needed, it wouldn't be possible without support from family and friends. Thanks for helping us to make it happen!
May God Bless,
Eli and Ryan
Goals for the trip:
- Develop purpose, character, & integrity in our boys as well as in the boys in the DR
- Serve the people in the DR through service projects and build relationships with them through baseball
- Instill compassion & perspective in our boys through this life-shaping experience
- Provide examples of strong male leadership for our boys and the boys in the DR, where it is so often lacking
- Share God’s love with the people in the DR
