Why Puerto Rico?

(Gospel Trek Location — Designed for Athletic Teams)

A vibrant island rich in culture, faith, and resilience — still rebuilding after years of hardship.

Key challenges include:

• Ongoing economic hardship and poverty

• Housing instability and infrastructure repair needs

• Repeated hurricane and storm-related damage

• Homelessness affecting families and local churches

• Continued need for youth mentorship and community rebuilding

Why this matters for athletic teams:
Baseball is deeply woven into Puerto Rican culture, creating a natural bridge for connection, mentorship, and Gospel-centered relationships. Athletic teams are uniquely positioned to serve through sport, leadership, and presence.

Where the Church steps in:
Local churches and ministries are actively restoring hope but often need outside partners to meet ongoing physical and relational needs.

How athletic mission teams make an impact:

• Home repair, rebuilding, and cleanup projects

• Storm and hurricane recovery efforts

• Baseball clinics, sports outreach, and youth mentorship

• Relational ministry through shared service and play

• Community engagement alongside local churches
