So Who is the Evangelism Linebacker?

We've all heard about the Evangelism Linebacker and we've laughed with the videos, but who is this passionate Christ follower?

Derwin Gray is a man of great passion. For six seasons in the NFL he played with a contagious passion that led to two Pro Bowl nominations. For the last nine years, he has communicated the Gospel of Grace around America and abroad with an intense passion that is both contagious and inspiring. Dewey is a 2004 graduate of the Billy Graham Institute of Emerging Evangelists and a graduate (with honors) of Southern Evangelical Seminary in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he is being mentored by world-renowned theologian, philosopher, and apologist Norman L. Geisler.
Derwin Gray and his wife Vicki founded One Heart at a Time Ministries in September of 1999. The vision of the ministry is to see people transformed--one heart at a time--through the love, grace, and truth of Jesus Christ. Derwin is also on the Pastoral Leadership Team of theGathering, a young, vibrant multi-ethnic church plant in Charlotte, NC .

Behind The Scenes Heroes and Volunteers

I've just spent two days with 4,200 teenagers in the Washington D.C. area. These "insurgents of love" were excited to be at the Dare 2 Share Conference, and I was excited to be with them. God was up to His usual business of overwhelming people with His awesomeness!

It was cool hanging out with Steve Fee and the rest of his band. It was cool meeting Leeland . . . I didn't realize they were so young (stay humble dudes; your humility was refreshing and real).

And of course, Greg and Zane are always great to be around. But you know what? I was blown away by the volunteers who believe in the Dare 2 Share message. Some of these people fly from other cities, paying their own way . . . just to serve kids.

I was also blown away by the servant-hearted people that are in the background running cameras, sound, lighting, and whatever else that makes Dare 2 Share successful. These behind the scenes heroes are the backbone of Dare 2 Share. Steve Fee, Leeland, myself, Greg or Zane could not use our gifts if it were not for the combined efforts of the behind the scenes heroes and the volunteers. Thank you for showing me what humility and a servant's heart looks like.

Gripped By His Unfathomable Grace,
