Do I Have To Listen To My Calling?

Do I Have To Listen To My Calling?

Being a father to the fatherless seems distant and far for many of us and “a great idea” that “someone else handles.” This is what David Kase, USA Country Director of Christ’s Hope International – based in Traverse City, Michigan – used to follow as a real estate broker who donated money, but never thought volunteering in Africa was for him.

10 Great Christian Olympians Through History

10 Great Christian Olympians Through History

The 2014 Sochi Olympics are a time for so many athletes to strive for and live out their dreams. Dedication, heart, physical endurance and hard work is the life that many individuals have lived in order to achieve their success. The moment when an Olympian first begins the games, then skis, skates or jumps to the podium is filled with overwhelming pride, joy and emotion. What does an athlete think about first? It’s impossible to catch every defining moment of the Olympics, but a major step of faith for Christian athletes is when they thank God. Reaching this moment takes hard work and determination. You don’t just wake up and become a gold medal recipient of faith. Day in and day out, Christian athletes like Gabby Douglas, Kevin Durant, Lolo Jones and Ryan Hall have sweat blood and tears for God. Their moment is God’s moment and they could not be prouder to represent God’s ability.
