Worship night set Feb. 10

By Sandy Morris

Riley Israel will be the featured speaker at the upcoming high school worship night scheduled for Wednesday, Feb. 10 at The Feed Store. 

Israel grew up in Americus, Georgia, and his parents and grandparents made sure he was at church every time the doors were opened.

Growing up, Israel was very involved in all sports-playing baseball, football, and basketball.  

Baseball was his first love, and his father, Renza Israel, who was a baseball coach, shared his knowledge about the sport with his son over the years. 

In 1997, Israel graduated from Southland Academy and received a baseball scholarship to Middle Georgia Junior College.

Israel played for two years at Middle Georgia, then played one year at Georgia Southwestern.

Israel had the opportunity to play independent professional baseball with the Americus Arrows.  

His professional career was cut short after the team folded, and Israel returned to college to finish his degree. 

For the last 19 years, this dynamic communicator, who has a passion for the ministry and schools, has been encouraging people with a message of hope and inspiration with Power 1 Ministries.

Feed Store executive director Tisha Wilkins invites all high school students to attend.
