Disciples Making More Disciples

What's God doing in Athletics at Calvary Christian Academy?  He's transforming the hearts of athletes... even those who attend other schools.  Calder Alfano, son of CCA lacrosse head coach Jerry Alfano, attends Boca High School.  Because his dad coached at CCA and he played on the same team as some of our players during the summer, Calder forged a close relationship with Dawson Allen, a student-athlete from Calvary Christian Academy.
Calder noticed something different about his life.  Dawson told him the difference was Jesus and encouraged him to follow Christ.  Acknowledging his need for a Savior and a life with meaning, Calder prayed and asked Jesus into his heart.  Coach Jerry Alfano believes his son getting "saved" was the very reason he was asked to coach the CCA lacrosse team a year ago.
Andrew Lundy, High School Youth Director at the Calvary Boca Campus, invited Calder to share his testimony to the high school students in Boca.  Calder got to share his experience which included how he now leads prayer with his own teammates at Boca High.
Praise be to our Lord, who used a CCA lacrosse player to further His kingdom and freely gifted eternal life to Calder because of a repentant heart.  The discipleship continues for Calder as he spends time with Dawson and other CCA lacrosse players Christian Coy and Tres Huizenga.
