wrestler's fight to forgive
Professional wrestler Gaz Thompson’s toughest fight was finding the strength to forgive his childhood abuser – but he prayed to God and was able to forgive the man face to face.
The August issue of Good News outreach newspaper goes on to describe how “a huge weight” lifted off Gaz, and since then he has gone on to make peace with his parents and ex-wife, and begun a new life using his wrestling skills to share his faith with others. His Wrestling Church in West Yorkshire has baptised 30 people in its first year.
