Recruiter and Missionary

Greg grew up in Buena Vista, Virginia. The youngest of four children, sports was a way of life in his family. He played on a state champion football team and state tournament basketball team at Parry McCluer High School, but baseball was his first love.

Greg was exposed to alcohol at a young age, abused it, and experimented with drugs throughout high school. This lifestyle of sin continued into college at Louisburg College (N.C.) where he pitched in the Jr. College World Series and on a nationally ranked team at East Tennessee State University.

Greg was drafted by the Seattle Mariners as a pitcher at the end of his senior year in 1982. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in education that year. After successful seasons in “A” ball in 1982 and 1983, he went to play winter ball in Caracas, Venezuela. Although he played with major leaguers and fulfilled a childhood dream of playing professional baseball, he continued to abuse alcohol and drugs having no peace and searching for answers. A teammate, Lee Guetterman (a future major leaguer), witnessed to him and shared Scriptures. A few days later, Greg picked up a Gideon Bible from the hotel and read Colossians 3:23, a Scripture he had seen on the glove of a former teammate Donell Nixon while playing with him and his brother Otis at Louisburg College. In that hotel room, Greg accepted Christ as Savior and was set free from the bondage of sin.

The next season Greg met his future wife, Candace while playing “AA” ball with the Chattanooga Lookouts. Candace had been saved at the age of 12. After playing for six seasons and bouncing back and forth from “AA” to “AAA”, he retired in 1987. He taught high school for 22 years and coached baseball for 16 years. Candace has taught third grade for 19 years. Greg served as a pastor of two United Methodist Churches over six years from 2003-2009. Greg has a hunger to see souls saved and lives changed through the power and presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Greg and Candace have been married for 25 years and have been blessed with three sons, Keith, Brett, and Noah.

Born and raised in Brazil, Danilo grew up in a Catholic family. He always believed in God but never had a real relationship with Jesus Christ. In 1994, he was invited to an evangelical church by a friend and became a believer in Jesus Christ after hearing the Gospel. God led Danilo to move to the United States in 2005 after the unexpected death of his mother and to be closer to his family here in the US. He quickly joined Idlewild Baptist Church in Lutz, FL upon his arrival.

Danilo started combining his love for soccer and ministry by volunteering as a soccer coach through Idlewild’s recreation ministry. He is currently coaching high school girls each fall. In 2007, Danilo and a friend started a soccer ministry on Saturday afternoons for college-aged students. Today the ministry also includes ultimate Frisbee and attracts as many as 100 students each Saturday. The ministry has resulted in many college students coming to know Jesus Christ.

Danilo joined SCORE International in 2010 and will be focusing on soccer recruitment and continuing to grow his existing soccer ministry.

Danilo and Robyn met at Idlewild and have been married since 2008. Robyn is employed as the Media Relations Manager for the Southwest Florida Water Management District in Brooksville, FL. They currently reside in Lutz, FL.

They have a heart for missions, and want to see lives change. They are both currently starting up as recruiters with the sports area of SCORE and hope to be heavily involved in the organization.
