It's a miracle!

These past few weeks the entire CCA family has been praying for miracles - medical, spiritual, and physical. We asked the Lord to provide lungs for Rick Hornsby, to prepare the hearts of those who don't know Jesus, and to provide protection and valor for our football team as they played The King's Academy.

Just after noon time on Friday, we received news that a lung had become available for Rick (who had been on the donor list for only a few weeks).  And, later we found out that he would actually receive two lungs.  This was the beginning of a miraculous day.

Last year The King's Academy beat our football team 63-0.  This year the game may have been the greatest football experience in CCA history.  With the team trailing by 16 points with around four minutes to play, the Eagles mounted a "miraculous" comeback.  Tying the score with less than a minute to play and then winning in overtime, our young men will never forget how they pushed aside their fears, trusted God and each other, and triumphed 44-41.

But, if you've been following this blog, the God story continues to be about our mission to "Make Disciples" - raising up men and women willing to deny themselves daily, take up their cross, and follow Jesus.  When our players pray with the opposing team after a very emotional game and share the gospel, it puts what we've been called to do first.  I am so thankful for the team's commitment to represent Christ "at all times".  God continues to perform miracles... when people pray!
