“At junior college the competition was good, but Greenville is a complete 360—a different world.

All the guys are great, it’s like a brotherhood. There’s a balance between spirituality and sports.

The coaches mix in biblical principles, and they live out what they believe. That affects the way we

play football, do school, and live our lives.”

an Unbeatable “serve”More than 20 Panther football players spent Spring Break doing service projects

in some of the grittiest parts of Philadelphia, including McPherson Park of

Kensington, better known as “Needles Park” due to the prevalence of drug

abuse there. The players cleaned the entire park, hosted a football camp, and

offered a cookout and coffee house for the homeless.

youths, and visiting orphanages.

“I went to Colombia, South America, with Athletes in Action.

We played basketball games against local colleges, offered

basketball clinics, and gave our testimonies to the crowds

during halftimes. We got connected with several churches

and they helped make our visit even better. It was amazing.”

Greenville students are everywhere… working in our campus recording studios, studying at the library,

sipping coffee at Jo’s Java, enjoying a music recital, taking in a movie

at the Globe in town, tossing the Frisbee on Scott field in the center of

campus, and sharing a meal at a professor’s home.

always get a chance to do something fun and see the land, go to the markets, hike a

volcano, and experience the culture and its people.”
