Every Thursday, two hundred plus kids ranging from ages 5 – 15 meet in a local park for games, snacks and lessons on sportsmanship. It is led by Jim Redwine - better known as Mr. Redwine – a tough-talkin’, bear-huggin’, makes no apologies father of four who has made extraordinary contributions to hundreds of kids. These kids are all eager to grow in the ranks and earn different colored caps for their efforts in giving to the group and to the larger community – first blue, then red, and then black. With these advancements come more privledges and more responsibility.

Jim Redwine is a local hero who has demonstrated the essence of being a disciple by leading, and at the same time, serving the kids that follow his tenants of fellowship, friendship and good sportsmanship. Recently, Mr. Redwine wrote “I will serve their children when allowed and until my shadow disappears from the ground where Children’s voices remind us that our efforts carry on without us, but we are never forgotten. There’s a reason for our legacy’s value and height has little to do with who casts the ‘Longest Shadow’. Mr. Redwine’s shadow has now reached over 3,000 kids in over 35 states. Mr. Redwine’s shadow will not be forgotten.
