09.06.12PersonalFaces: David and Jason Benham |
I had the pleasure of spending a morning with David and Jason Benham a little over a week ago. I hardly know where to start in order to adequately tell their story. The twin brothers were born in Florida...and early on showed an incredible aptitude for baseball. Their father told them if they were going to play ball and get up early for practices, they would have to make certain they still woke up in enough time to study their bibles and pray. So while many teenage boys were staying out late and sleeping in, the Benham brothers rose before the sun...studied the bible and prayed...then jetted off to baseball practice..then school.
What is the result of all the seeds those boys sowed with sacrifice and dedication? WELL...they both went on to finish college and play major league baseball--one for the Red Sox and one for the Cardinals. They left baseball because of a desire to serve in a different capacity...they began one of the most successful real estate companies in the world along with a foundation that has programs aimed at protecting life, rescuing the abused, feeding the hungry and loving the afflicted. BUT more than all of that, they are STILL passionately committed to prayer and revival. If you want to know more about them--make sure to check out the Benham Foundation and have a look into Charlotte 714 (an event organized by David Benham). I hope you can see the passion and intensity in their faces....I hope you can see that God has marked their hearts for His Kingdom... Thank you guys for letting me spend the morning with you all. |
