Read this story — Chris Lofton

May 2, 2008

I am relaying a story that I picked up locally and now ESPN has featured it. As you know I have had the chance to minister with the Temple Baptist Church, on the campus of the University of Tennessee. Doing this I have met people from all walks of life. I never got the chance to meet Chris, but I have heard more than a few stories of his outstanding character. I also was told that he had received Christ and was baptized at a local church within this last year. Please read the story posted below, may you find it encouraging. 

Senior guard for the University of Tennessee has a amazing story of battling cancer secretly during the last two seasons. Read here… 

You can post any encouraging word for this young man at the Tennessee Volunteers sports site.

    Wow! That is awesome! What a testimony! I wish more guys at college were like that. Chris Lofton didn’t quit basketball for testicular cancer, and some guys quit Hyles Anderson basically because they got a headache. I’m glad Chris was steadfast, but he’s playing with a ball. God’s business is the greatest business in all the world, lets have some young men of God rise up and have a testimony like that. Acutally I know at least one, and he’s a Jersey boy no less: Matt Guzzi. II Tim. 1:5-10
