From Athlete to Missionary

We at Higgins have a wonderful opportunity to support a missionary here in the United States that grew up just down the road in Gastonia. He played football with Cole Shehan at Wingate University. Jaheim did not know Christ at that time. After graduation, he transferred to Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas. It was there that he met a young man who changed his life. I'll stop at that and let him tell you his story himself in the video linked below.

After completing his time in Texas, Jaheim joined Campus Outreach and moved to the Chicago area where he disciples to students, bringing them to Christ. He then teaches these students how to disciple to other students. As part of Campus Outreach, he is responsible for raising funds to cover his work. The funds go directly to Campus Outreach under Jaheim's name. Due to his background, he does not have the support of a faith family backing him. He remembered his Christian friends from the universities he attended and reached out to them, in hopes of finding faith families to connect with that would help to support him through prayers and financial assistance. After reaching out to Cole, Cole contacted Amy in hopes of his home church of Higgins helping to support Jaheim. Amy was inspired by his story, as I'm sure you will be also. We ask that above all, you will keep Jaheim and his work in your prayers. If you feel called to help him financially there is a link below where you can send support in his name. This can be a one-time or monthly donation.
 
For those of you who have young people in your life, or know of others that might be inspired by his story, please share this link to his video. One never knows when a simple gesture could change someone's life forever.
