JERUSALEM, Israel – An American woman who comes from a baseball family received an unlikely calling in Jerusalem. She's introducing America's national pastime to Israeli youngsters.

Mitchell told CBN News, "I met with a woman in the Jerusalem municipality in the athletic department and showed her a diagram of a baseball field, and she was like, 'Oh, that looks like a fan.' I told her it was a diamond... she started to understand why a rectangular field just doesn't work for our sport."
