MAC Sports
The MAC Sports Ministry was created in 2006 to 'bring kids to Christ through sports'. Literally thousands of kids hear the word of God each year, many for the first time, through sports camps, school programs, and church leagues, as well as the baseball academy that runs three days each week. One focus is to train leaders that will sustain and grow each program, creating a change in culture to live lives of faith, trust, sharing, and caring for each other.
Beginning with two full-time employees, Fernando (baseball, churches and training) and Francis (high schools and training), we have added Karen (elementary schools) part-time, and recently have given much more responsibility to our fantastic volunteers including Belkis (churches), Cesar (high schools), Wetsy (elementary schools) and Rolando (basesball and schools). Approximately 30 other youth volunteers participate throughout the year in various programs.
In February, 2011 there will be a "KidzGames" program in Masaya involving 1,000 children and 100 volunteers from 10 different churches in the city. The children will compete in 'experiential games' with each one focusing on a different 'value' so that children have fun, while learning to live better, more productive lives.
We have been very blessed to work in partnership with pastor Melvin from El Salvador, and his association with the International Sports Congress.
