Several weeks ago, I blogged about Zach Johnson, a devout Christian who just won the US Masters, one of the most prestigious annual Golf tournaments.
There is another athlete who is equally, if not even more, zealous for the Lord. He is none other than Kaka, a soccer player hailing from Brazil.
Kaka was in the news recently because he plays for Italian club AC Milan and scored a couple of goals against Manchester United of England in the Champions League semifinals.
It is amazing how Kaka came to know the Lord. Kaka was involved in a diving accident in Sep 2000 (at the age of 18) that nearly left him paralysed. God healed him completely, so he gave his life to Jesus, and is now one of the boldest witnesses of the gospel of Christ!
Whenever he scores, he will lift his hands with fingers pointing to the sky in acknowledgement, and giving all glory to the Lord Most High.
He sometimes also lifts up his jersey in celebration to reveal messages professing Jesus.
He is truly another person who makes a stand for Jesus.
May AC Milan win the Champions League, with Kaka scoring a hattrick!
