Former Aussie Professional Rugby League Sportsman Paul Stevens takes lessons learned from the field onto International Christian TV. Pastor Paul Stevens, former professional National Rugby League (NRL) player in Australia and Cronulla Sharks Team Chaplain, has taken lessons from his sporting career to present 10, one minute Ignite your Life TV spots. They aired back in March on the international Inspiration TV Network, as well as the Australian Christian Channel. I am excited these TV spots will be seen in the US, the UK, Australia and around the world via satellite and online said Paul. Paul played professional rugby league for 11 years for both the St George Dragons and Cronulla Sharks. At the Sharks, Paul together with his brother Jason (Australian and NSW representative), helped form a group of dedicated Christian players, called the God Squad by the media. This group saw other team mates come to faith in Christ with some physically healed of injuries, which also made news headlines. At the end of his playing career, Paul became team Chaplain of the Sharks. During this time, Paul pioneered a weekly, faith-based discussion group with team players, which was successful in discipleship and winning others to faith. He drew media attention by running both an Alpha course and special church service, attended by top grade players. After five years Paul handed on his Chaplaincy role to relocate to Camden and pioneer Lifehouse church in Sydneys southwest, under Apostolic Australia. Lifehouse is a vibrant, growing church with a strong community focus, said Paul. Recently he was one of three prominent Christians chosen in the life size version of Da Vincis Last Supper painting, promoting Hollywoods The Bible movie in Asia-Pacific.
