Ohio State football players, alumni spearhead campus faith night

While football is important and brings in billions of dollars as a sport, to many of the Ohio State football players, it isn’t the most important thing. Some of the most notable names on campus both organized and attended a prayer and worship night that ended up drawing hundreds.

“This event was truly to bring true joy and peace that I believe in, that I think we all believe that can truly only be found in Jesus Christ, and bring it to Columbus and to the campus,” former Ohio State receiver Kamryn Babb said via Fox & Friends last week.

Future NFL players like Emeka Ugbuka, TreVeyon Henderson, Gee Scott and J.T. Tuimoloau all showed up and were able to distribute 10,000 bibles, a significant amount.

There was also a place available to be baptized, an outward showing of an inward faith for Christian believers. Their appearance could’ve changed the lives of hundreds. Even Babb thinks they had at least 50 baptisms at the event.

Many of those aforementioned Buckeyes were able to share how their faith has brought them closer as a team, several who have been on the team for the last couple of years and endured some on-field challenges.

For those, life is bigger than football, and that testament should bode well for them moving forward.
