The faith of Usain Bolt in five tweets

He is the world's fastest man. Bolt is also a Bible-believing, God-honouring, Jesus-worshipping Christian. But other than crossing himself and offering silent prayers at the start of each race, he is relatively reserved about his faith. However, the occasional tweet reveals a faith that is centred around praise and gratitude. Here are five moments that give us an insight into Bolt's Christian faith: ‘I want to thank GOD for everything he has done for me ‘cause without him none of this would be possible.’ ‘Way up I feel blessed.’ ‘Never forget the true meaning of the day #GoodFriday.’ ‘Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me.’ And ‘Give thanks for another day’, followed by an image of the Lord’s Prayer.
