Former Buffalo Bills quarterback and NFL Hall of Famer Jim Kelly recently shared how God has changed his life after his recent public declaration of faith during a baptism over the summer. The 63-year-old, who led the Bills to four Super Bowl appearances in the 1990s, took to Instagram to share a video of his baptism in a swimming pool.
Kelly wrote in his post, “I’m not a man of many words, and I don’t speak ‘Christianese.’ All I know is that God changed my life. After Hunter [my son] went to heaven, I was so lost and angry at God. But God loved me anyway, and he never gave up on me.” In 2005, Kelly’s 8 year-old-son, Hunter, died from a rare genetic condition called Krabbe disease. Before his passing, Kelly paid tribute to his son during his Pro Football Hall of Fame acceptance speech.
