Few people can say that the primary turning point of their life took place dozens of feet underwater while cruising aboard a nuclear-powered submarine. But then, few people have lived a life as extraordinary as Wayne Huizenga, Jr.
Wayne’s journey toward faith began while he was a guest on board Captain Brad Fleetwood-McDonald’s submarine, which was making a trek from South Carolina to Florida. During the trip, he spent a lot of time with the captain. This encounter had a profound impact on Wayne. “He had patience that was just unbelievable,” says Wayne. “And he had incredible wisdom. He didn’t seem to be searching like I was. I saw a calm and a peace in him that I had not seen in anybody else.”
Up until that point, Wayne had experienced astounding success in business, helping his father, Wayne, Sr. build up companies like Blockbuster Video and running sports franchises like the Miami Dolphins and Florida Marlins. But something was still missing in his life.
With help from Captain McDonald, Wayne found fulfillment through a personal relationship with God. Since then, Wayne’s lifestyle and business dealings have been completely transformed. He doesn’t just look at deals as a way to make money; he also sees them as opportunities to help others. “To me, success is being able to use what we’ve been given to change other people’s lives. I have this great desire to share what I have with other people. To me, that’s success.”
Would you like to add a spiritual foundation to your business? Let Jesus show you how. If you don’ t know Jesus, we encourage you to pray the following:
Lord Jesus, I want to know You personally. Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me be the person You want me to be. Amen.
Saying this prayer is the first step toward a personal relationship with Jesus. We would love to pray for you and send you further information.
