Do you ever wonder why we are called "The Home Plate Project"?
In July of 2020, Newcomerstown tragically lost two teenagers.
A leader named Wendy Miller in HPP felt the Spirit of God prompt her to have a prayer service. Our town was desperate for some type of hope. So, in less than 24 hours we had hundreds of people meet at Home Plate in our local ball field (Cy Young Park).
As the service was ending, our founder Daniel Bias truly felt the Spirit of God say to me, if I don’t say what God placed in me then it was “on me”. He allowed God to just work in Him at that moment. He prayed, and we he opened my eyes and saw the unexplainable comfort and love of God sweep across everyone there.
In the midst of death and tragedy, where there was no comfort or peace to have, God gave us everything the Bible says we can have. It was truly an encounter like we have never felt.
We knew that this couldn’t be a one-time thing. A week or so later, while driving back from Cleveland after that service he looked over at my wife and exclaimed “Home Plate Project”! She bawled, as did he, and I knew that was the call from Christ we had been praying for.
Our primary goal is to better NCT however we can. Sometimes it's as simple as a small get-together, and other times we work with other churches and organizations to bring events like the Easter Experience.
