Scott Hamilton - Hall of Fame Ice Champion

The following is an incredible testimony of Scott Hamilton, US Olympic Ice Skater and Gold Medal winner during a I Am Second clip.  You say you haven't heard of him?  Well, let me give you some background.  Starting in 1981, Hamilton won 16 consecutive national and world championships.  He was inducted in both the US Olympics and the World Figure Skating Hall of Fames and he created the incredible touring show called Stars On Ice which cemented his superstar status.

As a child he had a disease that stunted his growth...he is only 5'4" tall.  He will go into greater detail on what he thinks about that in the video.

In 1997, at a career high, Hamilton was forced to leave the ice to undergo chemotherapy for testicular cancer.  This is where his faith really began to grow.  During the course of his life he has battle cancer three times!

It is interesting to me how many people think this "Christian" life thing is something to try or not to try and they just don't get it.  It is a RELATIONSHIP with a LIVING GOD who cares, understands, hears, desires fellowship and answers.

Grab a kleenex as you hear his AWESOME experience and be prepared to be radically changed as he shares how his faith grew and his prayer life changed because of a simple conversation.


"When I look back, and I see all those moments in my life when I needed a great deal of strength, I understand that through a strong relationship with Jesus, you can endure anything." -Scott Hamilton
