INSPIRING HOPE THROUGH TRANSFORMATION
“I thought that winning those gold and bronze medals at the Olympics would be the highlight of my life ... but it wasn't anything compared to knowing Christ.”—Sharon
Sharon Wichman found her dream in seventh grade.
Not long after she moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, Sharon's father signed up her and her brothers for Club Olympia, a year-round swim club that boasted some elite athletes. At the time, Sharon wasn't a great swimmer. His goal, she admits, was to keep his children active and out of trouble.
But listening to girls talk in the locker room, Sharon felt a big, wild idea take root: She wanted to go to the Olympics and win a gold medal.
"Nobody believed I'd ever do that," laughs Sharon, "and I kind of didn't either."
Men and women in prison are looking for hope. And nothing provides hope like the living Word of God. The demand for Bibles and Christian content is at an all-time high. Will you help us meet the need? Please give generously today.
