According to Fox News Digital, the event featured “quarterback Shedeur Sanders, running back Raheim Sanders, cornerback Tyson Campbell, safety Daniel Thomas and of course, team chaplain Nobles C. Darby among others. It brought together some members of the local community and Browns players for a time of praise, worship and fellowship.”

“It’s so important to share your testimony. I encourage my teammates, anybody around me, because I look at it like this: A lot of people are not going to church, so you might be the only Bible that somebody ever reads. It’s important how we carry ourselves on and off the field,” Browns safety Daniel Thomas told the crowd of people at the event, per Sports Spectrum.
When promoting the event, Thomas shared on social media that it would be a time of “service and baptism.”
“This is a special moment for my brothers and I, as we’ve prayed about finding a way to impact this amazing community through Christ. We can’t wait to come together and celebrate faith in such a powerful way,” the safety said.
Browns chaplain Nobles Darby also helped lead the event. He always challenges his players to “leverage their platform to point other people to Jesus Christ, and this [event] is gonna be an opportunity to do that,” he said in a promo video.
“This event is really rooted in Acts 2:38, where Peter says, ‘Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and then you’ll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit,’” he added.
Browns cornerback Tyson Campbell called the event “powerful.”
“The Word says, ‘When two or three are gathered in My name, I am among them.’ So, God’s gonna be present, and I’m excited to see what He has in store,” Campbell added.
We applaud these athletes for using their platform to not only impact their community but to also share the gospel with their teammates and fans.
