Tell others about Jesus like Billy Sunday did:

 Though we are not all called to the ministry of an Evangelist, we are all called by God to share our faith (witness) with those who are not Christians.  Some Bible verses that you will find helpful for doing this, and that you may want to commit to memory are found on other pages on our  web site (see: Memory Verses; 2nd Set: Salvation!, Plan of Salvation, and Statement of Faith). _________________

He left professional baseball to star on God's team.

...an Iowa farm boy...

By 1880, baseball had taken America by storm.  Into the galaxy of new athletic stars came an Iowa farm boy, Billy Sunday, whose blinding speed and amazing coordination earned him a job with one of the top teams in baseball history---the Chicago White Stockings.

...Billy committed his life to God.  

But the money and fame of professional baseball were no match for the strains of a simple Christian hymn, wafting on the night air of the Windy City.  Drawn to a revival service, Billy committed his life to God.

"Jesus Christ loves you" he began sharing with anyone who would listen.  "He wants to help you out of this mess and save you from Hell.  He can do it, too."

...preaching the gospel to more than one hundred million people.

Soon, nothing topped Billy's joy of bringing people to the Lord.  He gave up his baseball career to become a powerful, compelling, and innovative preacher.  Over the next four decades, Billy Sunday would lead more than three hundred revivals, preaching the gospel to more than one hundred million people.

Pulpits around the world have never been the same since Billy Sunday preached.  You see, amazing things can happen when you give your all for God's team... ______________________________
