Alive Now! Ferguson Jenkins interview

Fergie Jenkins was an All-Star baseball pitcher and Cy Young winner. His 284 victories are the most by a black pitcher in major league history. Jenkins also became the first Canadian to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991.

In this interview I did with him back in 1976 Fergie shares some of his faith journey, the struggles he went through and the crisis that led him to Jesus. One of the wonderful things about God is that he can meet us in the midst of our pain, and bring peace and the ability to keep going when all seems dark.

Also included in this segment:

• The Imperials give a classic rendition of “Give Them All To Jesus” live on the program
• And Paul tries to convince Fergie to sign with the soon-to-be formed Toronto Blue Jays (this was 1976 after all!)
