Chael Sonnen Prayer Project Update #1

So far, I have prayed for Chael Sonnen for a total of eight sessions.  This month, my project got off to a rough start, but I will finish strong.  I'm under a lot of stress, but my faith in Christ will get me through it.  I discovered that he managed to get a fight with Shogun, which is pretty interesting.  While I'm sure God can use that to reach him, I'm not certain that He will.  After all, it's not nearly as shocking as Miesha Tate being selected as the new coach for "The Ultimate Fighter."  I believe that some other means will be used, although God is not limited by my own understanding.  Tonight, I prayed that Sonnen would reconcile with the people of Brazil.  While a lot of what he said was mostly pre-fight hype for his rematch with Anderson Silva, I felt that he crossed the line with many of his remarks.  If he does become a Christian, it will be a great witness for him to seek forgiveness for it.  In the meantime, I will focus on first things first: his salvation. 

June Celebrity Prayer Project: Chael Sonnen!

                                      

When you are the greatest promoter in the UFC, they have one name for you: Chael P. Sonnen!  I used to consider him the greatest heel in MMA.  Then he turned face when he agreed to fight Jon Jones on short notice at UFC 151 after Dan Henderson got injured.  The fight got rescheduled for UFC 159 after UFC 151 was cancelled (just google the event to find out why).  Nonetheless, I became a huge fan of his after he stepped up not only for that, but to coach on "The Ultimate Fighter."  This month, I will pray that the "American Gangster" steps up to accept Jesus Christ as his personal savior, so that he can have eternal life.  Chael Sonnen!  Find the Lord!  While you can!

Miesha Tate Prayer Project Completed!

I finished praying for Miesha Tate's salvation last Friday night.  I focused on asking God to use her experience on "The Ultimate Fighter" to lead her to Jesus.  I also prayed for reconciliation between her and Ronda Rousey.  Is that a long shot?  Sure is.  However, after seeing Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels reconcile, I believe that anything is possible.
