Stepping Out in Faith: Our Family’s Journey into Ministry

Who We Are

We’re the Ball family-a growing family with a heart for adventure, faith, and sports! Over the past several years, God has been stirring something new in us: a call to serve in Europe, with a special focus in sports ministry and community outreach.

Our Backgrounds

Kyle brings a unique blend of experience as a Texas-licensed attorney with a background in corporate law and compliance, five years of soccer coaching, years of baseball experience, and a semester of high school teaching.
Blessing holds an MBA in marketing, has a strong foundation in graphic design, and has spent two years coaching soccer herself.

Together, we’re parents to five energetic boys. As we look ahead, we’re seeking a country where our family can impact and bring light to the people in both ministry and community.

Our Top Ministry Priorities?

While initially we felt led mainly in sports ministry, as the path has unfolded we see God branching us in several different ways that we will go and impact people for Him.

We believe that sports are a powerful way to build relationships, break down barriers, and share the love of Christ. Our vision is to develop sports programs that goes beyond the game, integrating faith, mentorship, and discipleship into every practice and match. This may include camps for children, going into neighborhoods and inviting the kids to play, or even hosting weekly practices and games.

Soccer outside the US is very competitive and big time. We know that people love it and it will help us find a connecting point with different cultures we may not otherwise have. In addition to soccer, we are looking at baseball as another sports avenue. Whatever God leads us, we know that he will work where we often least expect.

How We Hope to Serve

Beyond the sport fields, we’re eager to support local teams and ministries with our professional skills:

• Kyle’s Personal Expertise and Skills:  whether that be in Consulting, contracts, donor compliance, and organizational guidance.
• Blessing’s Personal Expertise and Skills: Branding, marketing, and graphic design to help ministries grow their impact.
• Remote Work & Ministry: Exploring the possibility of combining remote work (through digital nomad visas) with hands-on service.
• Potential Coffeehouse Ministry: Exploring the possibility of coffeehouse ministry and what that looks like.
• Children’s Bible Study and Arts/Crafts: Utilizing Living Stones Study and other resources we hope to reach children around the world teaching them bible literacy and developing a love for God’s word.

Our Next Steps

We’re in the early stages of this journey-researching, praying, and connecting with others who share our vision. We’re especially interested in learning from those already serving in sports ministry or one of the other ministries mentioned, and exploring how our gifts might align with existing needs.

Join Us on the Journey

We’re excited (and a little nervous!) as we step out in faith. We invite you to follow our updates, pray for direction and open doors, and consider how you might partner with us as we pursue this calling.

Partner with us through monthly support. Without you and your generous donations, we are unable to answer God’s call to bring the life. God doesn’t use isolated people, but builds the body together in unity. Your support not only empowers us to spread the gospel and foster Bible literacy, but also makes you a vital part of God’s mission—planting seeds of faith and hope in hearts across the world. Together, we are building God’s kingdom and leaving an eternal legacy, one transformed life at a time.

Thank you for reading and for being part of our story from the very beginning. We can’t wait to see what God will do!

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue this adventure!
