Reactions as Roberto Firmino becomes pastor in Brazil
@Daniel Regha said:
"Firmino wants to carryout pastoral duties while he's still a professional footballer? That's impossible. One can't serve two masters at the same time, he's either a full-time pastor or a footballer. Life is a journey & anyone can choose to serve God, but being a pastor isn't by wish, one has to be called to do the job."@ibukuamosun said:
"Life is a journey till you die, embrace all the opportunity along the way."
