Christian Sports International
My name is Mark Salazar and I am blessed with an amazing wife, Kristi (20 years) and 2 great kids! I love Jesus, my family and sports. I have a passion for discipleship, to share the Word of God and help people experience a transformed life found in Christ.
In High School I was one of the top 100 players in the nation and turned down the 1997 MLB draft with Houston Astros and took a full scholarship to Long Beach State. God had other plans. After a major car accident I transferred to Shasta College in Redding, CA where God saved me. I had earned another full scholarship to The University of San Diego to play under Coach Rich Hill. During the first semester God was calling me to follow Him. I gave back my scholarship and started coaching High School baseball at Horizon in San Diego. That following summer, one of my former coaches found out that God got a hold of my life and pointed me in the direction of Christian Sports International. I would spend the next 2 summers working baseball camps sharing the Gospel and playing semi-pro baseball at night. 19 years later, God would have us re-unite and have me start CSI out here in the Wild Wild West and recently just moved to Missouri to start a new chapter! I have been serving the Lord through sports and pastoring over the last 20 years. I have been serving as a sports missionary for the last 8 years!
I am responsible, and privileged, to trust in God for raising 100% of my ministry support needs. We are praying for monthly partners and 1 time gifts to get us launched and running strong. I would be greatly honored and blessed to have you as a ministry partner in all that the Lord is doing through CSI and my work with them, as we present the Gospel and fulfill the Great Commission.
2024 Fundraising Game Plan
I am praying for 100 new donors to join my home team. Choose your old or favorite jersey number 1-100 and give that amount monthly, OR multiply by 12 for a yearly gift. Yes Mark, Count me in! I want to join your home team.
In His Might Grip,
~~ Mark Salazar
YES Mark, COUNT ME IN!!!
