Let’s Step Up to the Plate!
Introducing a revolutionary outreach tool—a baseball/softball challenge with eternal impact! The PERFECT GAME program provides your church with a proven framework where members invite their unchurched friends to enjoy a fun day of baseball or softball. During the event, a compelling speaker shares their testimony and presents the Gospel in a natural, non-threatening environment. The PERFECT GAME is designed to create meaningful connections on the field that lead to life-changing conversations about faith. This isn’t just baseball; it’s an innovative ministry model with demonstrated success in reaching people who might never enter your church doors.
A Home Run Approach to Outreach
The PERFECT GAME is a baseball/softball challenge strategically designed to share the Gospel in a unique and effective way. Unlike traditional church events, this program creates natural opportunities for church members to invite their unchurched friends to enjoy a day of baseball or softball in your community.
How the Game Works
Kingdom Impact is Just a Swing AwayPerfect Game combines the fun of baseball/softball with intentional evangelism through a simple but effective process that creates natural opportunities to share Christ's message.
Invite & Connect
Church members invite their unchurched friends to participate in a baseball/softball challenge. Teams form naturally, blending regular churchgoers with those who don’t typically attend services, creating opportunities for meaningful conversations in a relaxed setting.
Play & Fellowship
Teams enjoy the unique “Pickle Game” before the main competition, teaching participants about focus and commitment under pressure. Each participant has their photo taken for a personalized baseball card that serves as both a memento and a pathway to the Gospel message.
Share & Follow Up
After the game, a guest speaker (consider inviting a former professional athlete) shares their testimony and presents the Gospel. Follow-up activities—including batting cage outings, baseball game nights, and a 4-week small group study—help continue the relationships formed.
