Much is made of the two black coaches in the Super bowl. More should be made of the fact that the Colt’s Tony Dungy is a fine, upstanding Christian gentleman and that, as Bears coach Lovie Smith is his best friend, I’ll bet that coach Smith is also.
Jon Gardner forwarded the following email to me. Please pass it along to spread the Gospel.

Dear friends,
I want to give you a heads up on an opportunity that this year’s Super Bowl will afford to expose your friends to the gospel.
On Sunday, February 4, millions of sports enthusiasts around the world will tune in to watch the ultimate game in professional football as Tony Dungy’s Indianapolis Colts face Lovie Smith’s Chicago Bears.
Athletes in Action, the sports ministry of Campus Crusade for Christ, has teamed up with both head coaches and several players to create an opportunity for them to use this historic stage to talk about their common faith in Jesus Christ.
Full-Page Newspaper Ad and BeyondTheUltimate.org Web Site
Today, Friday, February 2, Campus Crusade has placed a full-page advertisement in the USA Today Super Bowl special section. The ad features both head coaches and points readers to a special Web site, www.BeyondTheUltimate.org.
The Web site features articles and streaming video from players and coaches who share their stories and talk about their faith in Jesus Christ. Additional articles and a clear presentation of the gospel create multiple opportunities for site visitors to learn how they can begin a relationship with God and receive God’s love and forgiveness.
