THE GREAT COMMISSION
Matthew 28:16-20
But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated. And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to keep all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Joseph Cruz
American U.I.C. Minister
Joseph Christian Patrick Cruz is "brother zero (0)" of our fellowship of Umpires In Christ in 2018. Brother Cruz, blessedly, comes from San Antonio, Texas in the United States of America (U.S.A.) by means of the Forest Valley neighborhood, and was exposed to the game of baseball early in his youthful days.
Joseph "Baba" Cruz started playing baseball at the age of 4 with his father, Joe M. Cruz, & along with his brother, Albert Cruz, when he was born 5 years after me. "Baba" was my name when until the Lord God formed a cyst in my throwing-arm rotator cup that caused me to quit baseball while playing catcher in college at Southwestern University in 1999.
"Baba" the Umpire stared umpiring at the age of ~13 years when there was a need for someone to call balls & strikes at Edgewood P.O.N.Y. League under his father & coach, Joe M. Cruz, then under U.I.C. Pat Huerta at St. John Berchman Catholic Church in their CYO program, and "select-ball" tournaments in Boerne, TX under U.I.C. Richard Medina & Pat Huerta. The LORD suspended Umpire Cruz's calling duties in 2001 when a girl broke his heart & he needed a new job with a new life as a "prodigal son in process" as predestined by the grace of God.
Joseph Christian Cruz was born-again in 2016, and needed a job again after fulfilling the his "Luke 15 prodigal son story." He restarted umpiring to serve the LORD in the Lord Jesus by the power of the Spirit of the Christ Jesus in baseball back in San Antonio, TX under his remaining parent, Alberta R. Cruz ... "Mom!"
His desire is to spread the Gospel of the kingdom of Jesus Christ by, in, & through Bible & Baseball Homeland Missionary Ministry ... nd now the U.I.C. ministry.
May God bless us in the God of the living, the King Jesus Christ, OUR Amen, Amen‼
