FORMER REDSKIN SPEAKS AT CAMP MARANATHA

Greg Huntingon with Camp Maranatha's Assistant Director Josh Tate
This past weekend Camp Maranatha hosted Restored Life Fellowship, a men's group from South Pasadena. Their speaker was Greg Huntington who played for Penn State and was drafted by the Washington Redskins in the early nineties. He went on to play for the Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears before leaving the sport and pursuing ministry full time. Washington Quarterback, Mark Brunelle, played an integral part in bringing Huntington to the Lord. He faithfully invited him to Bible studies at his house and conferences, and also modeled what it meant to be a Christian by living with integrity in the midst of their profession. Huntington accepted Christ into his heart as his personal Lord and Savior during his stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and was baptized in Brunelle's swimming pool. For the past few years, Huntingon has served as co-chaplain for the Washington Redskins while pursuing other ministry opportunities as well. Many of the men who attended the retreat said the Huntington's life and message had a big impact on them.
The men of Restored Life Fellowship reported having a wonderful stay here at the camp. They enjoyed wonderful weather and fellowship during their time at the camp, and are already planning another retreat next year.
