On March 19th, coach Chris Lane and the CCA middle school baseball team went to the Florida Marlins spring training game in Jupiter. After the game, the CCA team, coaches, and a few parents enjoyed a lasagna dinner at the spring training home of Brett Carroll and Rookie of the Year Chris Coghlan. Both Marlin players shared about their relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ and encouraged the young players to work hard, be strong, and remain steadfast in their faith.
What a great model...professional athletes, gifted by God, called to share their time, treasure, and testimony with the next generation, and "making disciples" of Jesus Christ by speaking the truth about baseball and life.
Hearing about playing in the "big leagues" and watching swing mechanics on the laptop was quite a thrill for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. Knowing they have the same Savior and are one in heart and faith with "BC" (Brett Carroll) and R.O.Y. (Rookie of the Year Chris Coghlan)...
priceless.
