Monday, October 19th, Athletes in Action hosted an outreach where a few members of the Jaguar football team shared their testimonies and answered audience questions. Rich Bartel #4 shared his powerful and tearful testimony. Then Mo Williams #74 below shared the Gospel and several people of all ages raised thier hands indicating they wanted to accept Christ as their Lord and Savior.
The players gave away door prizes and signed autographs for the children. Pictured here is Mo talking to Rich, and Derek cox #21 smiling at a fan. He's single and when asked about the kind of woman he is looking for, he said, "A woman chasing God's heart." Sweet.
Christine went with me and was the first to win an autographed cap from the team. She had to leave early but I went up to receive it for her. Mo Williams handed it to me and shook my hand. It was pretty sweet. I was so happy she won something!
Now that I live in Jacksonville and heard their storeis, I am truly a fan of the Jags and will pray for these players! It would be awesome to have some of them come speak to our Student Venture students to help reach more high school students.
These young men are dedicated to serving God and glorifying God with thier gifts. They know the Lord has blessed them with this position and they want to give thanks to what the Lord has done in their lives by sharing with others. Several times they made the point that playing football is what they do, but not who they are. I was so impressed with their heart to be apart of the Great Commission and know that their time with the NFL is limited. Ernest Wilford #85 pictured above and Rich Bartel #4 below.
