twins faith night
brian dozier went first. he talked about glorifying God in all that we do. and he had a really good quote, but i can't remember it. :(
next was eduardo escobar (in spanish, with the spanish chapel leader translating). the interpreter's accent was thick, which made it difficult, but one thing that struck me was that he said it was his wife's influence that led him to Christ and that keeps him on fire. steven baldwin says the same thing. it shows what an influence a wife has, and what an impact non-preachy living out of one's faith can have.
blaine boyer was third, and he was just excited to get to be sharing his testimony and encouraging people. i can't remember what he said specifically, but you could tell he's living for Christ. the man behind me said, 'boyer should be an evangelist!'
kyle gibson came next and he talked about trusting God through the hard things, and how He is always faithful.then the chaplain spoke. he talked about a local boy who died recently from meningitis, but they thought originally it was a bacteria in a lake he had been swimming in. this story apparently has been in the media in different places in the country and around the world. shortly before he died he had felt that God was calling him to share Christ among the nations. this was probably not the way he had in mind, but it's an example of God fulfilling His purposes for us. it may be in days or weeks or years, and it may or may not be how we expect it, but God is always faithful.
and finally came torii hunter, sharing his faith, and then also laying out the Gospel, encouraging people to read the Gospels to know and understand Christ more intimately. a good finish.although that wasn't completely the finish because we all sang 'amazing grace' (with dozier on guitar), with the worship team that had led us in a few songs earlier. a great night.

there were other players there, too, who didn't speak. i don't know if those guys are Christians or not, but no matter what it was exciting to see them there. :)
That's such a great event! And it's really good if they came and were not believers, because, as Chelley says that RP says, you can't unhear a message :-)
That video was taken from the back row - that means you might be visible somewhere in the stands! Did you check? ;-)
thank you for humoring me with commenting on a baseball post. :)
and no, i'm afraid i'm not in the video. i'm in the back row a section to the right of the video-er person.
Really it's more of a God post than a baseball post. :P
It makes me so happy that Auto quoted Ron Paul! :D
And actually, I was going to mention him too, haha. Just the part about the impact we can make when we live out our faith in a non-preachy way. I always thought (and loved) that about Ron Paul. :) It's the tough thing though! (But that's also partly what I like about it. Now to actually do it...)
Oh, and very cool event. I would've really enjoyed that, especially if I were a huge Twins fan!
