Adam Wainwright, a pitcher for the St. Louis Cardinals, has encouraged fans to join him in his faith journey by reading through the Bible in a year.
The MLB star extended the invitation on Twitter on Thursday, asking interested followers to join his other Twitter account.
“Hey everybody. This won’t be for everyone, but it’s an important part of my life,” Wainwright tweeted. “Most of y’all probably just want to talk baseball, etc. BUT, if you want to read through the Bible with me in one year you can join my other twitter account… @walkingwwaino We’ll start Jan 12.”
The 38-year-old pitcher, affectionately referred to as ‘Waino,’ began his relationship with Jesus in 2002 after attending a conference as a young pitcher.
“In 2002, I decided to go to a conference in Dallas, Texas,” Wainwright told the Sports Spectrum Podcast in 2017. “‘I really don’t want to be here, but I’m going to listen and we’ll see what happens.’ I just know that God had me there for a reason and I was meant to be there. Everything in my life led to that conference.”
