Foul Tips and Bat Flips

I got the pleasure to visit with Joshua Overbeek, recent Nebraska Cornhusker graduate and 3-year baseball player. We discussed his baseball journey, including being on the inaugural Abilene Flying Bison team, some of the obstacles (some self-imposed and others uncontrollable) he faced and how God has directed his path to place him in the position he is in today. In true providential fashion, God's plans were different and greater than anything Joshua had in mind. 

In addition to preparing for his wedding, Josh is currently training and fundraising to begin a ministry position with Fellowship of Christian Athletes in the Greater Omaha area. If you feel led to give, you may do so at the following link:
