For one woman, following Jesus meant going out for roller derby

Published on February 13, 2012

“You need to go out for roller derby.” This was the message that reached Sara Donovall, of Grantham (Pa.) BIC, during prayer. Despite her fears and questions, the mother of two joined Harrisburg Area Roller Derby (H.A.R.D.). Her involvement has opened doors for her to love and encourage several teammates, including one experiencing a hip injury and another facing homelessness. “I hope to continue building relationships with my teammates to share Christ’s love with them,” she says.
