TOO MANY PUT HIGH HOPES IN WINNING MLB LOTTERY? "The Dominican Republic Sends More Players To MLB Than Any Country, But It's A Mixed Blessing" : Goats and Soda : NPR

I'VE BEEN TO THE DOMINICAN. LOTS of extreme poverty, but also some wealthy areas. 

"...
they don't make the cut, says Charles Farrell, a sports advocacy and marketing consultant.
"You've been a dream merchant, telling these kids they can get rich, that they can have a successful career through baseball," Farrell says. "So you've got kids dropping out of school at 13 or 14 to prepare themselves for baseball."
Yet he estimates that only two percent make a living in baseball. The rest find themselves at age 19 or 21 with no education and no job prospects. "Baseball has a responsibility to offer..."

CRC MISSIONARIES PRAYER UPDATE: the KALLEMEYNS re HAITI & BURKINA FASO

Kallemeyns' Mission Update

 

 

 

The challenge of Christian leadership

 

Haiti and Burkina Faso are an ocean apart.

One is half an island in the Caribbean. The other, a landlocked country in Africa. Both are former French colonies.

Both have high rates of illiteracy and plenty of economic hardship and political turmoil.

In both countries Timothy Leadership Training Institute and Back to God Ministries collaborate in an innovative ministry called Proclaim-Train.  Radio broadcast messages are coordinated with manuals studied in local church groups.

This past autumn, radio broadcasts and study groups focused on the challenge of Christian leadership in the home, church and society. It's a particularly relevant topic since both Haiti and Burkina Faso are in the throes of turbulent national elections.

Initial response is encouraging. Political candidates in Haiti have requested copies of the radio broadcasts. In Burkina Faso, local study groups come to better understand their Christian responsibility during this electoral period.

Pray  for Kurt Selles, director of Back to God Ministries, and myself as we travel to Burkina Faso and Niger from December 9-17. We will explore open doors for expansion of this unique ministry in Muslim contexts.

I look forward to reporting back to you on this trip before the end of the year.

 


Warmest Christian greetings,


 

Harold and Elsbeth Kallemeyn


 

Representing Christian Reformed World Missions in partnership with Timothy Leadership Training Institute
