Twin Footballers Champion Faith Through Sport
Faith Facts
- Lily and Bella Wharin, twin sisters and footballers, use their sporting platform to promote the Christian charity Tearfund.
- Every goal or player-of-the-match mention by the twins highlights Tearfund on social media, raising awareness among supporters.
- The sisters’ fundraising through handmade cards at church has previously raised around £1,800 for Tearfund’s mission.
Lily and Bella Wharin, 16, recently signed with Frampton Rangers Ladies Football Club in the South West Women’s League Premier Division. As committed church members, they use their football achievements to spotlight Tearfund’s work fighting poverty worldwide.
Player sponsorship now ensures Tearfund is shared on team social media whenever Lily or Bella excel in matches, connecting athletic success to Christian service.
“When we learnt that we could help promote the work of Tearfund as part of our contract, we jumped at the chance as they are a charity close to our hearts that we’ve been supporting for eight years now,” Lily said.
With support from their family and congregation, the twins hand-make cards, selling them at their church to raise funds for people in need globally.
“Tearfund are really amazing at working with local churches and the community, getting to know them and understanding the needs of the people, and we just find that so inspiring. Injustice and poverty around the world bothers us,” said Bella.
Their efforts reflect a heart for justice and a call to Christians to take action, combining faith, family support, and community engagement.
Stuart Lee, who oversees global fundraising and communications at Tearfund, expressed gratitude for the sisters’ commitment to using their gifts to advocate for others.
“Lily and Bella are incredibly talented young athletes, and we are so grateful they’ve chosen to use their sporting success to advocate for those in need,” said Lee.
The Wharin twins offer a strong example of living out faith through service, showing the impact Christian values can have on the world through teamwork and generosity.
Keep supporting Christian youth as they use their talents to further kingdom work and bless those most in need.

- Adam Christopher Sheafe, 51, charged with first-degree murder for pinning 76-year-old Pastor William Schonemann’s hands to a wall in crucifixion pose.
- Sheafe sought guilty plea and immediate death sentence in court to deliver quick justice for victims’ families.
- Crime part of alleged plot targeting 14 pastors nationwide due to their Christian faith.
This heinous attack on a devoted shepherd of New River Bible Chapel echoes biblical persecution of the faithful, demanding swift divine justice in our land.
Authorities linked Sheafe via burglary evidence, backpack items, and stolen truck after responding to the April 2025 scene.
Prosecutors filed charges including burglary, kidnapping, theft, trespass, and three attempted murders, vowing to pursue capital punishment.
“It’s an undisputable fact that the victim, Pastor Bill Schonemann, was over 70 years old. It’s an undisputable fact that the crime was heinous in nature. I intended it to be heinous,” Sheafe declared in court.
“From day one, I’ve said I did this. These are the reasons why I did this, and I’m not contesting anything,” he insisted.
In a confession, Sheafe admitted crafting a crown of thorns for the pastor and plotting assaults in cities like Las Vegas and New York while avoiding bystanders.
Believers must rally in prayer for protection over pastors, upholding America’s godly heritage against Satanic assaults on faith and freedom.

- Shannon Bream endured years of 10/10 chronic corneal pain, reaching suicidal despair yet clinging to God’s presence.
- Prayer led to her ideal doctor within 48 hours; surgery brought 98% pain relief and unprecedented clear vision.
- New book weaves her trial with biblical heroes like Jonah, urging perseverance and sharing mercy universally.
Fox News anchor Shannon Bream faced a rare genetic eye condition that caused unrelenting agony, testing her limits profoundly.
Through fervent prayer, she sought divine guidance to the right healer.
“If you’re not going to heal me,” she prayed, “please at least lead me to somebody to help guide me through this and lead me to the right doctor.”
Her ordeal deepened intimate knowledge of Scripture’s promises, transforming intellectual faith into lived reality.
Today, she marvels at simple sights like individual leaves, a miracle post-surgery.
“I’m literally looking out the window at the leaves on a tree, and it’s a miracle that I can see them individually,” she shared.
Bream’s ‘Nothing Is Impossible with God’ profiles figures like Moses and Peter.
It highlights triumphs over doubt, failure, and enmity through divine restoration.
Jonah’s reluctance to extend grace mirrors human biases, yet God pursues all souls relentlessly.
“God is the God of the universe. That means He wants relationship with every single human being, even those you may see as enemies.”
Embrace trials as pathways to bolder faith, bringing doubts directly to the Lord who redeems fully.
Draw from Peter’s denial to leadership, proving God’s mercy endures.
Trust Biblical truths amid adversity.
