Several hundred people joined us at church for a special night of worship, Nick received a key to the city from our mayor,  4-5-2008 7-15-49 AM_0070_resize

And NFL Player, Mike Furrey, flew from Detroit to Lexington and then rented a car so that he could drive another hour and a half to surprise Nick at the event???4-5-2008 8-45-38 AM_0073_resize Nick loved Mike Furrey, and Mike Furrey loved Nick.  They shared a passion for football but most of all they shared the same favorite Scripture verse, Joshua 1:9.

Mike shared with the crowd that Nick was his hero and that Nick had changed his life.....
