Not your ordinary kickball games:

Interview with Shalom

Why did you participate in kick ball?

The mission of Collision Church is to get out in the community and to reach the unchurched who need some love. What better way for us to get out into the community than to be in the community? What better way than kickball. Even though we are not the best at the game, we wanted to come out and show people that church folks are not stuck up, can get dirty, have fun, and love life too.

Any specific outreach?

We are here at the Tomato Festival. We have done some events in JFK Park. We are still looking for opportunities to get out and serve in the community.

You made a great play at first base. What is your background?

I started attending the Simple Church about two years ago. I love it. We are a family, so it makes it fun to come out and play. This is one of our grow groups. It is an opportunity to get to know one another and be athletic.

I played college soccer at Ohio Dominican University, so that is where I get my catching from. The stretching is just a gift from God.

Does your church have a  kickball team?

We are going to play in the city of Reynoldsburg’s league. This is our team that we are playing with.

Why did you participate?

We put this together at the last minute. This is a dream run. Our team has good teamwork. We are going hard trying to win. Team unity, hang out, and have fun.
