This year Corona could not stop what was to be an amazing work God is doing through the sport of baseball in the region of Zadar, Croatia. The Zadar region of Croatia is a beautiful region surrounded by mountains and bordered by the Adriatic Sea. It is a region that was once thriving but was hurt economically after the war. Many people and businesses left the region. There remain small pockets of villages trying to survive. Spiritually it is challenging as there are not any evangelical churches from Zagreb to Zadar.
This year SRS International came alongside HisPrint ministries to put on a baseball camp. We were also joined by a Croatian church in Zagreb who is trying to plant a church in this region. They served with a local team of Croatians to teach the sport of baseball and bring encouragement to the village of Gracac. The camp was a children and youth camp which averaged 25-30 young people each day. With baseball, we were able to maintain our spacing and limit our contact. It worked out perfectly!! We are thankful to HisPrint ministries for the invite and opportunity to serve alongside them. We will continue to pray for the region and for the relationships being built.
