My grandfather gave me a Bible and I started to read about Jesus. When I realized that the events in my life were not by coincidence, my faith started to grow. A short time later I believed in Jesus and accepted Him as my Savior. Accepting Jesus Christ as his personal Savior marked a turning point in Michael's life and set him out on an extraordinary journey. With Jesus in his heart, this diminutive tennis player stands much larger than any worldly champion ever could.
Tennis is more than just good forehands and backhands.
It's an opportunity to touch people's lives and share the Gospel with them. Tennis is temporary, but a relationship with the Lord lasts forever. On the world's scoreboard, athletes are either winners or losers. The constant pressure to perform wears down the most seasoned veterans. But young Michael deals with these strains in some amazing ways.
