TV personality, students, a local campus and the gospel all in one, oh my! On April 22, 2010, Fox 6 News Sports Caster Sheldon Haygood visited Bragg Middle School’s First Priority campus club. Hannah Haygood, Sheldon’s daughter, did not ask her Dad to come to career day but to come and share the gospel of Jesus Christ with her fellow classmates. When asked to come speak for the challenge week of ACTS (Accountability, Challenge, Testimony, Seek), Sheldon said he would be honored to share his faith with the students at Bragg Middle School.
During his visit, Sheldon challenged the students to make an effort to share the love and message of Jesus Christ with every student on their campus. Sheldon encouraged the students to be bold in their efforts both in the classroom and the hallway. He stressed the need for students to be an example to others through their attitude, academics and their faith. We as a society take time every day to watch or listen to the news for the day’s events surrounding us, but not too often do we ever think that the personality we are watching or listening to is community-minded or even has a relationship with Jesus Christ.
We at First Priority and the students at Bragg Middle School would like to thank Sheldon for being a “Roaring Lamb” in the media today and for being a huge part of molding our students as campus missionaries.
