Former German goalkeeper, Dirk Heinin: "Through Jesus I have the Ultimate Place"

Christian Today
|PIC1|Former German goalkeeper, Dirk Heinin, didn’t always play between the posts:

I played originally outfield on the left wing. And then our goalkeeper conceded a lot of goals, one through the legs, one here under the arms. And I was at that time one of the biggest, and they said “you must go in goal”, and then I went into the goal and it worked very well.

a top footballer, Dirk Heinin has fame and fortune, so why does he also need his relationship with Jesus Christ?

I need JC because my sister died of cancer at 38. She too had everything, but suddenly it’s gone, and you cant take it with you. And in the end I concluded it didn’t matter whether you had a boat or this or that, these things never satisfy. But through Jesus Christ I have the ultimate place for now and for the future.
