This week (January 2-7), the Covenant Baseball program is away on a mission's trip in the Domincan Republic. The team has partnered with SCORE International Ministries in order to share the gospel through a shared love of sports. You can find the mission and vision of SCORE here. 
 
Each day, Scots Baseball is wanting to provide our community with details and updates so that Covenant Athletics, friends, family, and fans can follow along on the trip. Matthew Parrott, a freshman on the baseball team writes, "We had a great Tuesday on the mission field. Our day started off early this morning eating breakfast at 7:30 (AST). After breakfast we loaded the bus and took a trip down to San Pedro where we were able to play baseball against some great Dominican talent. After the game we had the opportunity to share a [player's] testimony along with the Gospel to all of the opposing players and coaches.
 
This was an amazing experience. It was so awesome to see that although we may have a language barrier, we all bond through the great game of baseball. After we left our game we ate lunch and then headed towards the surrounding villages to provide meals for a few families. During this time, we also were presented with the opportunity to share the Good News of Jesus to all who would listen. I am so thankful that Jesus makes a way for all of us no matter who we are or where we are from! 
 
To conclude our first day, we sat down for a team meal and topped it off with reading God's Word followed by a team devotional. This has already been such an eye-opening experience and we all cannot wait to see what the rest of the week has in store."
 
A verse that the team has included is Mark 16:15 which reads, "Jesus said to them, 'Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.'" 
 
Please be praying for our Scots as they are on this trip!
