2020 has been a grind from the start! As we headed into the fall new restrictions on indoor events put a damper on our normal tournament schedule and Pray & Play outreach. We kept praying about what God might have us do, and then in a rare weekend of 70 degree...

It was going to be epic! What a cool year to say you were graduating. 2020 the year of perfect vision! And then literally the world turned upside down. I think the thing that breaks me up the most is not getting the chance to see the graduates walk down the halls of...

I'll be honest I don't really like being around people, or at least I thought I didn't. See I would tell you that I'm an introvert and would rather spend an hour in isolation, than an hour talking to someone. But over the years God has changed my heart and the call he...

It’s hard to believe not just another year is over, but another decade!  2019 was another great year for Skybacher Ministries with it’s own set of challenges and triumphs! We continued to host large group outreaches in the form of 5 different sports tournaments -...
