During his 10 years as a professional baseball player he spent countless hours with fellow ballplayers on busses, on the field and in hotel rooms, and in their homes. The lifestyle comes with much pressure and uncertainty. The game includes a wide variety of personalities, backgrounds, and religious beliefs. The issue of sin is not new but the mindset of the ballplayer is a unique one. As a part of his career he had the privilege to play ball in Latin America for 5 of the off-seasons to become deeply involved with the players that represent the Spanish-speaking world of baseball. God used this training period of his life to develop a heart for the lost, for missions, and the deep desire to build up men and their families to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ through the Word of God.
