U.S. soccer’s Goodson says ‘God has been faithful’
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (BP)--Some Christians have miraculous stories of how they came to know Christ. Some have found themselves in the deepest, darkest moments one could possibly imagine and realized there was nowhere left to turn but to a Higher Power. 
Clarence Goodson, a defender on the U.S. World Cup team, was not one of those stories.
Raised in a very tight-knit family with strong Christian values in Alexandria, Va., Goodson recognized at an early age the difference in right and wrong and was active in his local church. His parents were strong influences in his life and provided him with a Christian foundation to build his relationship with Christ.
