“A church full of people committed to JESUS never says, “We’re done.”
Instead, they say, “What’s next?”” Barry Cameron
Trinidad Colorado is known for many weird and interesting things. It has a lake, a historic downtown, close ski resort, interesting procedures at hospitals and junior college. What stands out to me the most is there was a baseball coach there named Scott Douglas who always asked the question each year, “Who’s next?” You would think he was interested in “who’s” going to be the next baseball star to take his team to the Junior College World Series, or which higher level school would be interested in taking him on as a coach, but for Coach Scott the, “Who” had nothing to do with band and especially what is listed before. For Coach, “who” meant the next baseball player or person for whom he was going to share the gospel with and care for with the love of God.
That year I played at Trinidad State Junior College I saw coach Scott lead 18 people to Jesus. Here is what you should know about Coach:
1) He was a brand new Christian.
2) His reputation was not good at all because of antics on the field before Christ.
3) He still focused on building the best baseball team he could.
4) His version of the gospel was simply telling his before Jesus story and after.
Scott was just like anyone else, even worse when it came to his reputation, and God still used him. Why? He knew he had a gift that kept on giving in the love of Jesus which led him to always ask the question, “Who’s next?”
Who needs to hear about the hope you have in Jesus? Who needs to hear about how Jesus changed your life? Who needs to hear where you were before Jesus….
Who’s next?
Reminder, a great way to compliment the gospel is to invite them to our Kids Fall Fest Sunday. Click here to find out more.
See you Sunday!
