One day, while on the field playing soccer, Edward John heard a loud voice saying: Are you going to run after this ball for the rest of your life, or are you going to run after me like you run after that ball? A clear call from God, Edward John instantly knew that he should dedicate his life to God, and he made a major decision to lay down his promising sports career in order to pursue his call.
