"Falcons rise up" may not have been heard much in 1973 when they still played at Atlanta Fulton County Stadium, but the name Wallace Francis was definitely heard.
Mr. Francis attended the University of Arkansas, Pine Bluff and was drafted as a wide receiver by the Buffalo Bills in 1973. In 1975, he was traded to the Atlanta Falcons where he continued in the receiver position. Named Falcons Player of the Year in 1979, Mr. Francis continued to have success with the Falcons, but was called by God in to full time ministry. The 1981 season would be his last in the NFL.
By 1990, he had finished bible college and is now the national director of Ambassadors for Christ International, an organization that works with local churches to equip believers for evangelism.
Don't miss this opportunity Wednesday morning, November 2 at 7:30 a.m. to meet an Atlanta sports legend and hear his testimony about Jesus!
