Wow what a morning! I love how the Lord uses sports and influence to further his kingdom. Today we had the honor of having the entire Texas football team, along with members of the Alabama team present at our FCA breakfast. Not only them, but Coach Bobby Bowden, former FSU Quarterback Chris Rix and members of the USC football Team were there as well. Quarterback Colt McCoy was given the Bobby Bowden award and shared bits and pieces of what the Lord was doing in his life. Coach Bowden was the guest speaker as he shared about the ministry of FCA and how God is using high profile athletes to reach kids. Not only them, but we were blessed to have Jake Olsen speak as well. Jake is a 12 year old boy that lost both of his eyes because of cancer. The USC football team has reached out to him and made him a part of their team this past season (walking out to be a captain at the last home game). He in turn blessed them by sharing the good news of Christ and how being blind is just adversity that he has dealt with.
Thanks to everyone for their prayers and support to pull this event off. I am extremely grateful for the entire FCA staff and all the hard work they put into this. God's name was glorified and he allowed this event to reach a bunch of people that don't know him. Enjoy the pictures.
