Our Story

Texas Sports Reach was started in 1998 as a ministry committed to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ to prisoners through softball. We have played softball in 9 different states and over 60 different prisons including state, federal, and private units. We have also played in numerous local sporting events where God’s love has been shared with men who would not ordinarily attend a traditional church service.

Texas Sports Reach is a non-profit organization. It is comprised of individuals dedicated to taking the Gospel to many people who might not hear it otherwise. We rely on generous donations to cover travel expenses, Bible Study materials for the inmates, and equipment & uniforms.

Statement Of Belief

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is our final authority. The basis for all teaching, instruction, and discipleship comes from our obedience to the Word of God. We believe it is historical in its origin, relevant in its nature, and life-changing in its application.

We believe in one true God who reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. To Him we owe our highest love, reverence, and obedience. God the Father is all powerful, all loving, and all wise.

We believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He identified completely with mankind yet without sin. By His obedience and His death on the cross He made provision for the redemption of men from sin. He physically rose from the dead on the third day after His death, then ascended into Heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father. He will one day physically return in full power and glory.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. He enables men to understand truth. He exalts Christ. He convicts of sin, of righteousness, and judgment. He calls men to the Savior. He enlightens and empowers the believer in worship, evangelism, and service.

We believe that man was created in the image of God, but willfully sinned, and is therefore spiritually dead and separated from God. We believe that the salvation is completely the work of God. He offers this free gift to anyone who believes that Jesus paid the penalty for our sins by shedding His precious blood on the cross. Nothing we do before or after receiving this free gift can add to or take away our assurance of salvation and eternal security.
