Brazilian Edmilson: "My focus is to proclaim the Gospel"

2002 World Cup winner Edmilson has played over 30 times for Brazil, and he loves representing his country:

For me, each time they call me to the team it is like the first time. I feel very happy and content. There is a danger in being the favourites, and Brazilian fans don’t give you a choice other than winning.

In May he helped Barcelona win the Champions League title, defeating Arsenal. But his main focus is not football, but his relationship with Jesus Christ.

My focus is eternity. My focus is not to win titles. My focus is to proclaim the Gospel and to prevent others going to hell. My function is this: to invite as many people as possible to this party that we will be having in heaven.
