Hank Erwin visits Crestline boys Bible Club

Hank Erwin of the movie “Woodlawn” spoke Dec. 7 to Crestline fifth- and sixth-grade boys Bible Club. 

He spoke about the movie and that it was a true story. He told them how important it was to follow Jesus. He also shared with them a story that was not in the movie. He shared how the Woodlawn team first decided to follow Jesus. 

They had played a football game against Banks High School, and Woodlawn lost the game. Hank told the boys how quiet it was on the bus ride home and how the coach encouraged him to say something to the team. 

He spoke to the team about being “all in” when you decide to follow Jesus. You can't follow him only part time. He said you had to follow Jesus in the good and the bad times — all the time. He then asked the boys if they were “all in” or not. He had all the boys chanting, “All in!” 

Erwin took the time to speak to every boy as they walked through the door.
