God has thoroughly blessed me
through teaching and coaching. Through these avenues I have been able to share
the Gospel both inside and out of the classroom and athletic arenas. It’s
exciting when I see young children, even parents, grow in their faith and love
for God. I have noticed the same results in sports. Sports have given me the
chance to witness to athletes. From prayers to talks on how God has shaped my
life while being an athlete, sports has been a
blessing in my life. I enjoy not only sharing my teaching and athletic
experience with others, moreover, I seek to witness to
them the love of Christ. If you wish for me to share more with your group,
please contact me.
In
Him,
Kevin
