Thanks for supplying New Testaments to high school wrestlers, managers and coaches at Caesar Rodney High School! As part of our chapel meeting through The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA), we were able to share the Good News about Jesus along with some inspiring stories found in the testimonies printed inside this New Testament provided by Deep Water Church.
As Tervel Dlagnev wrote in his testimony found inside the New Testament:
“It was through wrestling that God ultimately revealed Himself to me. Wrestling is such an introspective and personal sport. I had a lot of doubts and fears and that caused me to ask questions about my nature. One of my high school teammates shared the gospel with me at a national tournament. I didn’t take him seriously at first but the message of Jesus Christ stuck deep in my heart…”
We offered the wrestlers and others who attended the voluntary chapel the chance to take one of these home, along with some free food (for AFTER weigh ins!). They were a huge hit. Many kids who didn’t come to the meeting were excited to get one along with the extra food!
While the huge abrasion and swelling on my face from wrestling practice should disappear by Sunday, we will have one copy available to see on Sunday if you didn’t get a chance to check one out last week.
Some have expressed interest in purchasing one for a themselves or someone else. If we have enough interest, we can purchase more. While they are not available on Amazon (at least when this was written), they are available through the FCA Wrestling site.
If you’re interested in learning more about FCA, what they do or how you can get involved in sports ministry, contact us or see me (Jeff) on Sunday.
