Darrell Green for Your
Event
There are many who think
he is the best at one of
the toughest positions
in football. He is
regarded as a sure bet
for the Hall of Fame.
Yet, Darrell Green’s
greatest accomplishment
is his service to God.
Mr. Green runs the
Darrell Green Youth Life
Foundation in
Washington, D.C. He is
reaching out to hurting
and troubled young
people in a real way
with the love of Jesus
Christ, which is making
a real impact on these
kids’ lives.
The program, run by his
foundation, concentrates
on things like reverence
for God, respect for
fellow students and
adults, and the
resolution of conflicts
in a non-violent way.
The bottom line message
is Jesus. When referring
to what motivates him to
keep his focus on
supporting the program
and not making football
number one in his life,
he says, "...I know what
my motivation is - that
I decrease and Christ be
glorified." |
