Florida Prison Softball Trip – Day Six
Day 6: Wednesday
Wednesday was a off day for the guys but not an off day from ministry. A former inmate came by to see us. He brought a friend along with him and a couple of the guys led him to Christ.
Today, we traveled to Sumtner Correctional. A day that set a record-high temperature by hitting 81 degrees… it was also a pleasant day in the field! We won 4 games and saw 5 men indicate decisions for Christ. PTL.
Always a challenge after a day off, the guys did a great job of playing. Though there were some decisions made, today seemed more about encouraging inmates that were believers.
Tonight, some of us are at the Conference USA matchup featuring the University of Alabama Birmingham and University of Central Florida being played at UCF in Orlando. Keith Clanton (pictured) of UCF, is a former Sports Reacher and UCF head coach Donnie Jones is a long-time friend.
Robby, I’m one of the officers that was out there watching you guys play. We really appreciate what you guys do out there. I also talked to my father inlay about coming and speaking at the church and he might be getting in contact with you guys. Thanks again and god bless Ofc. Waite
