Influenced by his parents who were strong believers in Jesus ,

Track star Jesse Owens lived as a courages man of faith ,

During the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin , Owens one of the

Few African Americans on the US team , received four gold

Medals in the presence of hate filled Nazis and their leader

Hitler . He also befriended fellow athleteLuz Long a German .

Surrounded by Nazi propaganda . Owens simple act of living

Out his faith his faith impacted Luzs life , later , Long wrote to

Owens , that hour in Berlin when I first spoke to you, when you

Had your knee upon the ground , I know you were in prayer ,,,,,,,

I think I must believe in God , Owens demonstrated hoe believers

Can answer the apostle Paul charge to ,,,,,hate what is evil , and

He devoted to one another in love . Though he could have responded

To the evil around him with hate , Owens showed to live by faith and

Show love to a man who would later become his friend and eventually

Consider belief in God , As God people commit to being faithful in prayer

He empowers us to live in harmony with one another , When we depend

On prayer , we can commit living out our faith and loving all who are made

In God’s image . As we cry out to God he will help us brake down the barriers

And build bridges of peace with our neighbors .

Do not be
Overcome by evil
But overcome evil
With good .
