Bill Rader - Colorado Sports Outreach
Bill serves as team chaplain for Denver
Broncos (NFL) & Colorado Rockies (MLB)
“My community of people are the
men/women/families/stadium employees/team employees of both the
Denver Broncos and Colorado Rockies. Because the Lord has allowed us
to be here for over 15 years now, I am viewed as the team’s pastor.
A humbling title to be sure, but the net result is that people know
me, and come to me as their pastor. It’s most rewarding when a
janitor at Coors Field wants to talk about ‘spiritual things’, which
happened just two days ago just as much as when a ballplayer to team
owner wants to talk.”
“I
so want to be God’s man here. I have a shepherd’s heart. I end up
speaking a lot, but what I really, really like is good conversation
over a coke or coffee and just allowing people the freedom to tell
their story. I then, often, get to tell the Story of the Lamb. I
love my calling!” Bill’s time includes talking with many people,
Bible studies, chapels, and travel with teams. His prayer request
includes having “energy and a rhythm that goes at the same pace as
the Spirit, not ahead and not behind.”
