Hungarian - Slovak baseball builds bridges

OM International
English/Español/Français

The American Embassy in Slovakia was willing to sponsor the cost of transport of Tom Johnson’s Slovak baseball team to Hungary in hope of improving Slovak - Hungarian relationships. OM Sportslink Hungary invited Tom, a former MLB pitcher who now works with Good Sports International, to bring his team of 10-12 year-olds and team of 13-15 year-olds to OM Sportslink’s new field in Érd for a friendly match.

Sunday, 9 August started with the younger kids’ game. Players and parents from both teams enjoyed Hungarian Gyulas cooked on the open fire, followed by the teenagers’ game and relaxation at the local pool. Both ministries are built on the desire to help players find reconciliation with God through faith in Christ, but the day together also served to build friendships between the youth of these two countries in conflict.

Praise God that these new connections were made. Please pray for the ministry of OM Sportslink in Hungary.

 

EL BASEBALL HÚNGARO-ESLOVACO CONSTRUYE PUENTES – Hungría

El Embajador Estadounidense en Eslovaquia patrocinó el costo del transporte para que el equipo de baseball eslovaco de Tom Johnson viajara a Hungría a fin de desarrollar las relaciones entre ambos países. OM SportsLink Hungría invitó a Tom, un ex pitcher de MLB que ahora trabaja con Good Sports International, para que trajera sus equipos (uno de 10-12 años de edad y el otro de 13-15) para jugar partidos amistosos en el nuevo campo de OM SportsLink en Érd.

El domingo 9 de Agosto, comenzaron los más jovencitos. Los jugadores de ambos equipos y sus papás disfrutaron de las galletitas húngaras Gyulas antes del partido. Ambos ministerios se fundamentan en el deseo de ayudar a los jugadores a encontrar la reconciliación con Dios a través de la fe en Cristo, pero el día que pasaron juntos también sirvió para construir relaciones entre los jóvenes de estos dos países en conflicto.

Alaba a Dios por estas nuevas conexiones. Por favor ora por el ministerio de OM SportsLink en Hungría.
 

LE BASE-BALL HONGRO - SLOVAQUE CONSTRUIT DES PONTS - Hongrie
L'Ambassade américaine de Slovaquie a bien voulu sponsoriser les frais de transport de l'équipe Slovaque de base-ball de Tom Johnson en Hongrie dans l'espoir d'améliorer les relations hongre-slovaque. OM Sportslink en Hongrie a invité Tom, un ancien lanceur de MLB qui travaille maintenant avec Good Sport International, à venir avec son équipe d’enfants de 10-12 ans et son équipe d’ados de 13-15 ans sur le nouveau terrain d’OM Sportslink à Érd pour un match amical.

Le Dimanche 9 août a débuté avec les matchs pour les plus jeunes enfants. Les joueurs et les parents des deux équipes ont apprécié la nourriture hongroise de Gyula, cuisinée au feu de camps. L’après midi il y a eu les matchs des adolescents, suivis par un moment de détente à la piscine locale. Les deux ministères sont basés sur le désir d'aider les joueurs à trouver la réconciliation avec Dieu par la foi en Christ. Mais cette journée passé ensemble a également servi à construire des amitiés entre les jeunes de ces deux pays en conflit.

Louez Dieu pour ces nouvelles connections qui ont pu être faites. Merci de prier pour le ministère d’OM Sportlink en Hongrie.
