New L.A. Lakers Player Celebrates By Feeding Homeless

Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Outspoken Christian NBA player Jeremy Lin celebrated his joining the L.A. Lakers in a way that seems unusual in the world of high-dollar sports.

He fed the homeless.

“Famed shooter Jeremy Lin who was recently acquired by the L.A. Lakers, embraced his new city by serving meals to the homeless today along with teammates Xavier Henry and Laker Girls at The Midnight Mission SoCal’s largest social service provider,” the Midnight Mission shared online.

Lin has previously conducted multiple outreaches in cities where he plays as part of the Jeremy Lin Foundation.  The foundation says their work is “compelled by [Lin’s] relationship with Jesus.”

Lin’s official first interview with the Lakers, posted to the team’s website, had Lin saying that he was going to be playing for God and would let the Lord decide the results and how it will benefit his team and his community.

“When I look back on the past two years, I think I’ve grown and learned a lot as a person, as a Christian and also as a basketball player,” Lin said.
