Manny Pacquiao, the Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin of Boxing?

It looks like boxing has found their Tim Tebow and Jeremy Lin. Filipino boxing world-champ Manny Pacquiao is now a born again Christian, and he's not keeping his new faith all to himself. He studies the Bible seriously, he leads Bible studies, he evangelizes, he quotes scriptures, and according to reports he turned his back away from his old unhealthy and sinful habits to begin a new life as a follower of God (see video here). He is so high in this faith that he wants to be referred as a "Bible Ambassador" and might retire from his boxing career soon because of the violent nature of the sport. Hope he continues his spiritual journey strong. He needs it to knock out all distractions and temptations. living as a witness for Christ is not easy. It's a daily fight against the hard punches of sin and trials. Be strong Manny Pacquiao and I hope you dig deeper in your faith so you have stronger ground to stand on when you fight.

Manny Pacquiao as a Bible Ambassador?... Um?! Why not!

  1. A champ will recognize the True Champ more often than any wanna-be. The fight has just begun Manny; "Be strong and of good courage." (Josh 1:9)

  4. According to the Latest Manny Pacquiao news that he is spending his time in Bible studies and bible sharing that’s why he was so busy. Mr. Manny is now a born again Christian and we all know that faith in GOD is very important. God bless Mr. Manny.
