"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20
Since I was a kid, it’s always been my goal to be a Godly and positive influence amongst my peers. For the past four years I’ve pursued to do so in the field of Strength and Conditioning. From beginning my journey at Saint Leo University and fast-forwarding to the past two years at Colorado State University, there’s no question that this field has provided tremendous eye-opening experiences and has been a true blessing. However, from the moment I entered the profession, I felt the Lord tugging on my heart, showing me that there’s more He wants to do in and through me beyond coaching. As I sought the Lord over the past two years, I realized God called me to Fort Collins for more than just athletics. He called me here on mission, to share the Gospel with athletes and coaches for transformation in Christ! So, this summer, my wife and I have decided that it is time for me to step out in faith and pursue not only a career, but a lifestyle of being used by God to make disciples who then go on to make more disciples!
It is my hope that you would carefully consider partnering with me in prayer and joining my team financially to share what God has done and is continuing to do in my life through Athletes in Action!
My wife (currently pregnant with our first TWO children) and I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to consider joining me on this journey to share the Gospel and transform lives through Christ. Whether you decide to support monthly, annually, or even a one-time gift, we sincerely ask that you would join us in prayer as I embark upon this journey. Again, words cannot begin to express my gratitude for your consideration! I look forward to connecting with you and sharing the incredible things God is doing through the Blackman Family!
With Love,
Elijah, Adrianna, and the twins (AKA the Blackberries)
