388 Jack Hayford, Man Of God

Ephesians 4:1 (New Living Translation): “Therefore, I, a prisoner for serving the Lord beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God."
Pastor Jack Hayford was so laser-focused on leading a life worthy of his calling that he turned down a full 4-year scholarship for Academic Excellence to attend the University of California Berkeley and a signing bonus to play professional baseball with the Boston Red Sox. As a result, God raised him up to occupy an extremely influential place in the leadership of the greater body of Christ. God used Pastor Jack to teach me, along with thousands of others, how to be a pastor.
