Our Vision/Mission
Our vision/mission, is to share the Good News of Christ with the children of Belize through the vehicle of “sports clinics”. Building on the principle of Loving Christ and Loving Others.
This is accomplished by visiting public schools during school hours and offering half day clinics teaching the fundamentals of softball/baseball and sportsmanship. Unfortunately, there are minimal recreational sports opportunities offered to the children in the mainland of Belize. The children are always excited to see our team bring out the equipment and teach them the basic skills of softball/baseball. Sports has proven to be a "barrier breaker" allowing for a gospel presentation to be intertwined into the clinic by our coach’s and mission team members.
Staying Balanced on the Cross is highly emphasized throughout our clinics! In fact, we spray paint crosses on the ground at each station to reinforce the importance of “balance” when playing ball. But more importantly, in relation to living a life “Balanced on the Cross!” In previous clinics it has been such a blessing to present a “Gospel Invitation” and witness many of the very children whom we had just played ball with turn their HEARTS to Jesus! Children that show an interest in hearing more about a personal relationship with Christ are teamed up with one of our team members for a more personal opportunity for a question-and-answer time with emphases on the “Plan of Salvation”.
Not only is it our Mission to bring the Good News of Christ, BSO also distribute school supplies to the children, provides a special gift to the teachers and we strive to leave a full set of softball equipment with each school we visit.
