Today at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time in Bear, Delaware, a special dedication took place. Hundreds of people gathered around a baseball field to pay tribute to a fallen hero. He wasn’t a hero in a worldly sense, but this young man had a faith few ever reach on earth.
Joseph Feeley III started as a freshmen for Liberty University, playing center field at a Division 1 school. After a successful first season, nagging injuries his sophomore year prevented Joseph from obtaining his full potential as a player. Despite transferring to Frostburg State for his final season, Joseph never forgot who he was playing for, the Lord Jesus Christ.
While Ray Consella built a fictional Field of Dreams in Iowa, Joseph Feeley III has established a Field of Faith at Red Lion Christian Academy. There isn’t a cornfield fence which allows you to go back in time, revisiting the games greatest baseball players. Instead, the Number 7, hovers above the scoreboard forcing those who enter this field to ask, who is Joseph Feeley? Though, this man of God no longer roams center field, Joseph’s legacy will live on through those who communicate his story of commitment, dedication and faith in the midst of cancer. LIVE IT and people will come to Jesus!
