Taking Jesus Out to the Ball Game
Mixing America’s favorite pastime with the Church, Faith Nights is drawing thousands of baseball and Jesus fans to stadiums nationwide.
On Sunday, it's the Los Angeles Dodgers vs. the Colorado Rockies at Dodger Stadium and popular Christian pop punk band Hawk Nelson is on deck.
What began with minor league teams has spread prominently into the major leagues, complete with player testimonials, in an outreach that has involved hundreds of churches and attracted larger crowds to the games.
"We want you to come to a game and have fun and listen to music," said Brent High, president of Third Coast Sports, which runs and promotes the events, according to The Associated Press. "But at the same time, we're going to set the table for you with player testimonials and music. It's a great night for you to reach out to people who don't have a church home."
