Goalie Tim Howard Talks about His Christian Faith
Yes, there is another Christian football player named Tim. Tim Howard, goalie for the U.S. National Team at the 2010 & 2014 World Cup, talks about his Christian faith.
Tim’s years of American soccer helped prepare him for England, professionally and spiritually. “I came to a crossroads,” says the 27-year-old. As he tasted success on the field, he realized he had two choices: strive to be a sports idol, or give God the glory. Tim vowed to give credit to the Creator.
“The most important thing in my life is Christ. He’s more important to me than winning or losing or whether I’m playing or not. Everything else is just a bonus.” – Goalie Tim Howard
