God is moving in our National Team


This summer has been a summer of seeing God do amazing work in the lives of many athletes. One group of athletes that I have even privilege to see the Holy Spirit pour out on is our US men's national soccer team. Just yesterday I attended chapel with our USA team and was able to encourage them about why it looks like to keep Christ first on the pitch.

I have now done several pregame chapels for them and developed relationships with a couple of the guys off the pitch. It's been a great journey of serving them and watching God move. The guys as a unit are growing personally, athletically, as spiritually. It's been eye-opening as many of the guys are growing in courage about where thy stand with faith and seeing it come together for many of them in their personal lives and families. 

As we now have qualified for Brazil 2014 it is my hope to continue to help them grow and mature in their lives by prayer and the occasional time to encourage them in their walks with Jesus.

Pray for these men that are Christians on the team as they seek to keep Jesus first in their lives as also pray for the ones who don't know Christ that God would draw them closer to himself (John 6:44).
