Happy Thanksgiving!

Here is a video from the national Sportlinc staff to encourage our student athletes who are leading movements around the country. I thought it would be great for all of you out there to see the people I work with on a daily basis. I am thankful for each one of you who read this blog and pray over me and my ministry. Your support whether it be financial or prayer or a meal...all of it I am so thankful for.  Happy Thanksgiving from the Athletes in Action Sportlinc Staff!

Mount Vernon at Ohio State...and Matt Barkley is Second

      Last night I was able to facilitate something pretty special. Before I tell you about last night listen to See I am coaching Mt Vernon Nazarene through my job at Athletes in Action. What that looks like is building in to the AIA rep on campus Justin Brown, who is a student athlete at Mt Vernon. He has a vision to reach his athletic department for Christ. Its exciting to see him gather the Christian athletes on campus and start a movement there this fall. They just had their first large group meeting and over 50 athletes came out. At a small school this is amazing! Shoot at any school its amazing! ANNNYWAys I took the leaders that Justin has grouped together at Mt Vernon and had them meet me in Columbus last night for Athletes in Action large group meeting at Ohio State. This was to help them dream...help them envision what God can do on their campus. See Ohio State's weekly large group meeting is almost completely student led and Mt Vernon has a great opportunity to see what God can do on their campus. The Mt Vernon student athletes plugged in and really were blessed by their time there. Keep praying for Justin and the movement there to grow!

Below is a video from USC Quarterback Matt Barkley. He explains why he comes in Second place to God in his life. Its a great 4 minute video. so please check it out!
