Congratulations to Alton Jones on winning the 2008 Bassmaster Classic on Sunday!
Alton is a tremendous Christian witness in his circle of life. A true example of God using us where we are to make a difference for Him. I had the privilege of meeting Alton & spending some time with him a while back when he asked me to come speak to a group of Christian anglers who meet regularly at each tournament. Jimmy Mize, who is part of our church & a good friend, fishes with Alton on the Bassmaster Elite Series. Jimmy put us in touch & I have been so impressed with Alton's heart & witness.
He is constantly giving praise to God & his Lord & Savior Jesus Christ. He is highly respected on the tour & I am praising God for giving Alton this amazing platform for Jesus during his reign as current Champion. He will have an opportunity to spread his witness further than ever before. We had already scheduled Alton to speak at our Wild Game Dinner next year & this will make it even better.
Pray for Alton as he shares Christ in his profession. Don't ever forget how awesome our God really is & how He can use anything for His glory. Check out the Bassmaster website & read his blog entry on the right side: http://sports.espn.go.com/outdoors/tournaments/elite/index
