Former MLB pitcher Don Gordon: From Pro Baseball to the Mission Field

From the Bullpen to the Mission Field | Former MLB Pitcher Don GordonHe gave his life to Christ at chapel more than a dozen times...it never really stuck.....but finally he  surrendered his life to Christ kneeling with a Gideon Bible on shag carpet in a rundown hotel room.    Former Major League relief pitcher Don Gordon, who played for the Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Indians, shares the remarkable story of how God met him during a lonely bus ride through the minor leagues and completely changed the direction of his life.In this awesomely human conversation, Don talks about growing up in Queens, New York, chasing his baseball dream.   Baseball wasn't just something he loved—it became who he was. Like countless young athletes, he poured everything into chasing the dream. The long practices. The bus rides. The minor league seasons. The hope that one day his name would be announced in a Major League stadium and that dream (prayer) became reality And then..... the rest of the story: After baseball, Don became one of the most influential chaplains and disciple-makers in professional sports, serving with the Arizona Diamondbacks, mentoring players throughout the country including Randy Johnson and Andy Benes, leading international baseball missions, and helping countless athletes discover that their true identity is found in Christ—not balls and strikes.If you've ever wondered whether God can redeem a lifelong dream and use it for something even greater, this conversation will encourage you.
