Strawberry and his wife, Tracie, took to Instagram to share how he is healing and express gratitude for “a great report from the doctor.”
“It was the most amazing report,” the 62-year-old said. “The doctor said that I am headed in the right direction. We thank God for this recovery process! Blessed.”
The MLB 1983 National League Rookie of the Year, eight-time All-Star, and three-time World Series Champion shared that doctors at St. Joseph West in Lake St. Louis, Missouri placed a stent in his heart.
Now, Strawberry is on the road to recovery and his wife says it is because of the power of prayer.
“Embracing these blessings, I greet each day with gratitude and hope,” he continued. “Thankful For God’s Grace And Healing.”
Strawberry and his wife have co-founded Strawberry Ministries, which shares the message of Jesus Christ.The couple travels sharing how God delivered them from drug addiction and gave them a “second chance at life.”
Strawberry recently shared a message at Bridgeway Community Church in Maryland to encourage people to get back into church.
According to a new Gallup poll, church attendance is on the decline with the survey revealing that on any given weekend, about three in 10 U.S. adults attend religious services, which is down from 42% two decades ago.
“Being in church and learning to walk in faith with Jesus is essential for our spiritual growth and relationship with God,” Strawberry shared at the church. “It is in the community of believers that we find support, encouragement, and accountability. Church provides a place for worship, fellowship, and the opportunity to learn and grow in our understanding of God’s Word.”
Strawberry added, “By actively participating in church, we become part of a larger body of believers, united in faith and committed to serving God and others. So, let us embrace the importance of being in church and learning to walk in faith with Jesus, for it is through this journey that we experience God’s love, grace, and peace in our lives.”
