Dear Beloved Jesus24365 Ministry Family,

As we celebrate the joy of faith and fellowship, we find inspiration in the powerful truth of Romans 8:28:

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."

This verse reminds us that no part of life is beyond God’s reach—not even the world of sports. Across the nation, we’ve witnessed incredible stories of revival in U.S. sports: athletes kneeling in prayer, teams uniting in worship, and public declarations of faith on the field. These moments reflect how God uses everyday challenges and triumphs to bring people closer to Him. Whether you are a lifelong believer or exploring faith for the first time, this message holds the power to transform lives.
