Three Dallas Cowboys players profess their faith in Christ and get baptized

The Dallas Cowboys are currently 6-6 and fighting for the playoff lives as they prepare for a battle against the New York Giants on Sunday.

On Tuesday December 5, linebacker Anthony Hitchens made a decision to do something bigger than any play he’ll ever make on the field, or any game he’ll ever win; he publicly expressed his faith in Christ by being baptized.

It was an honor to baptize 3 Dallas Cowboys who identify themselves as Christ followers first! #IdentityInChrist #CowboyNation

Cowboys team chaplain Jonathan Evans shared the video on his Facebook page and Hitchens confirmed it on his twitter page.

Hitchens, a fourth-round selection in the 2014 NFL Draft, is third on the team in tackles in 2017 with 58, including a season-high 15 tackles in the Cowboys 38-14 win over the Redskins last week.

He was injured in preseason and missed the team’s first 4 games before making his debut against Green Bay on October 8.

Two other Dallas Cowboys participated in the baptism on Tuesday including defensive back Kavon Frazier and linebacker Justin March-Lillard.

Join us in rejoicing with these players on their public declaration of faith in Christ.

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” – 2 Corinthians 5:17
