Athletes, from beginners to super-stars, are just people like you and me. They have the same needs, hurts, joys and goals as we do. If they make a lot of money, they seem to be able to buy some amount of happiness. Some rise to almost unheard of levels of achievement and adoration. Some seem to crash and burn overnight. But, no matter what wealth or pleasure their sport brings to them, they remain people - human. And they need Jesus in their lives.

Here you will find stories of those from around the world who have found their ultimate satisfaction, not necessarily in their sport, but in knowing Jesus. Some of them have grown up knowing the Lord and some have met Him late in life. Some have faced radical changes in their lives. Some have struggled. Some have achieved greatness.

One of them just might challenge you in some area of growth in your life. One of them might bring you closer to Jesus. Any one of them just might be an example for us to follow.

Read the stories of those noted below by simply clicking on the link. Then, follow the link below to TheGoal.com and search through the lists of athletes from around the world who know Jesus.

Is your favorite athlete there?
Maybe you might find a favorite?

In either case, perhaps you could pray for these men and women
as they struggle, like you and me,
to serve the Lord while living in the world of sports.
