We had this amazing night with two sports stars who visited from America.
Mike McCoy of the Green Bay Packers/Oakland Raiders/NY Giants and
Keith Davis of the NY Giants came out as representatives of
the Christian ministry Champions For Today.
They showed up played with kids and told them about God.
Picture a small child trying to stop 6 feet and 275 pounds of Footballer from getting to the goal across the room and then he said:
'Nothing will be able to separate us from the love of God"
They put a HUGE RoseBowl jersey on another child
and told a bit of the story of the prodigal son.
This child disappeared in the shirt of this giant man!
They heard about being clothed in righteousness of Christ.
The invitation was: Who wants to be on God's team?
The response across the room was unanimous.
The gospel was preached: The love of God, sin & forgiveness, Life to the full.
Kids get this stuff!
It sounds simple, but I was walking home from dropping off Josiah at school today and the parents of one of Daniel's friends told me that their son came home saying "I'm on God's team!"
We need to get this stuff like kids do.
Be different today.
You're on God's team.
