Russell Wilson may feel slightly out of touch on the football field after possibly having the worst season of his decorated career in his first year quarterbacking the Denver Broncos. However, his off-field performance certainly qualifies for some MVP awards.
The nine-time Pro Bowler and his Grammy-winning wife Ciara recently spread the love of God with people who desperately needed some. The couple attended a sermon at a maximum security prison for more than three hundred inmates.

Wilson and Ciara absolutely loved spending time with the inmates who are repenting their choices and looking for a connection with the almighty. The R&B singer-songwriter preached, and sang, and danced while Russell took the microphone whenever he had the chance.

“Lord, there’s nothing better than you. Over 300 maximum prison inmates worshipping Jesus. His grace and spirit are overwhelming in the midst of mistakes. He still loves and forgives,” the former Seattle Seahawks quarterback captioned his post on Instagram. Wilson also added a Bible verse from John at the end. This was an initiative of the ‘God Behind Bars’ program for prison reformation.

The inmates couldn’t put a lid on their mixed emotions as Ciara belted out ‘Waymaker’. And everyone sobbed uncontrollably. Wilson’s wife couldn’t hold back the tears either.

This isn’t the first time the Broncos No. 3 has tried to make a change and impact the community he’s a part of. Back in Seattle, during his Super Bowl-winning days, the quarterback was a regular visitor at the Seattle Children’s Hospital and even helped donate over a million dollars to their ‘Strong Against Cancer’ program through the couple’s ‘Why Not You’ foundation.
The NFL community also acknowledges the Wilsons’ efforts in aiding during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Russell and Ciara generously provided over a million meals to those in need. Apart from their philanthropic actions, Wilson has actively contributed to sports development, intending to steer young individuals away from criminal activity. The 34-year-old quarterback has facilitated the establishment of several football camps across America.
