And he passed me his number. I started speaking with him, I got a good vibe from him and he told me that he’s a season ticket holder. He comes to the games and watches us”

So I proposed the idea of him praying with me before the before the games. Everyone’s intrigued to see what’s going down. But yeah, I just want to share my faith to the world”
