Who Are We and Why Baseball?
Jesus said " Let all the children come to me" Matthew 23:23
Our mission is The Great Commission that the disciple Matthew spoke about in Matthew 28:19. "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the Holy Spirit."
In May of 2003, the first Sycamore at The Stadium was held at the softball complex at Armstrong Atlantic State University. Geared towards children of military families, it was our first glimpse of the things God would provide for our ministry and children in and around Savannah, Georgia. 45 children aged 8-12 learned the finer points of the game of baseball and thanks to corporate sponsors also walked away with free bibles.
In November of 2003 we held our second camp. This time 68 children attended and it was time to look for a bigger home!
A year later, we crossed the lines at historical Grayson Stadium, home of the Savannah SandGnats, where baseball greats such as Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb and Mickey Mantle once played.
In 2007, due to renovations at Grayson, we were blessed to be able to use one of the finest baseball fields in Chatham County...the field at the Bethesda Home for Boys.
In 2008, we again crossed the chalked lines at Bethesda. Grayson Stadium has been our home each year since.
