How does God work in the everyday moments of our lives? Jack's story reveals the extraordinary way a simple pickup soccer game led to one of his most profound missionary experiences at the University of Connecticut.
When Jack and his fellow missionaries met Kate through campus soccer, they couldn't have predicted where this chance encounter would lead. After an unusual post-game workout session involving 100 burpees, Kate introduced herself as someone "chain-smoking cigarettes, reading CS Lewis, and trying to figure out what this world's all about." This curious introduction sparked a friendship that soon included her boyfriend Johnny, who came from a family with no faith background and an actively atheist father.
This extraordinary transformation reminds us that evangelization often happens not through elaborate programs but through authentic relationships and creating spaces where others can genuinely encounter Christ. Sometimes, simply exposing Jesus in our lives can make all the difference for someone else's spiritual journey. Where might your next pickup game or casual conversation lead?
