Guy EarleRetired NFL & CFL PlayerHonors:
All-American Candidate All-Conference 1991 Grey Cup Champions, Baltimore Stallions, 1994 "In my eyes, I knew I needed change in my life. I was going nowhere. The nightlife, while playing professional football in the NFL was leaving me empty. I went to church, but still was feeling empty. Then it all came together for me. On January 10, 1995, I walked into my bedroom and got down on my knees and accepted Christ into my life. Today, I no longer feel empty inside because my life has been changed. If you have a passion for anything you do, you are going to find success. But true success is finding and living a life of passion for Jesus Christ.”

John EarleRetired NFL & CFL PlayerHonors:
All-American Candidate All-Conference 1991 Grey Cup Champions, Baltimore Stallions, 1994 "It was March of 1991 when I was at a crossroads in my life. The only thing of importance at that time was football - and it was being taken away from me because of injuries. Everything I had worked so hard for was disappearing right before my eyes. In 14 months I had broken my right foot twice, and my left foot twice.
After thoughts of suicide, I called my dad. He simply said, "Son, Jesus loves you and He'll never leave you nor forsake you." That night I asked Jesus to be my best friend, Lord, and Savior, and surrendered my life into his hands. To this day, I find peace in that decision, a peace that only Jesus could have given me." |
Jeff NealRetired NFL, AFL, & CFL PlayerHonors:
All-Conference 1988-1989 All-American 1988-1989 World Power Lifting Champion - 1998-1999 "I retired from professional football in order to do what I'm doing now: To share the Good News of the Gospel, so that others may come to salvation through Jesus Christ. I grew up basically a good kid, raised in a good home. I always had the dream of playing professional football. Growing up, I was always told that I was too small and skinny and that I would never achieve my goal. When I was 13 years old, I asked Christ into my heart. Through HIM, I was able to overcome the many obstacles I encountered in pursuit of my dream. God gave me the strength I needed to achieve my goal of playing professional football and the strength I needed to live for Him."
