Former NFL Player Herb Lusk restores hearts with HOPE through his Crisis Pregnancy Center in the City of Brotherly Love. Better known as the tailback of the Philadelphia Eagles, he was the first to kneel in the end zone and give thanks to God for scoring. He eventually left the NFL to start giving back and helping those in need in his community.

Join us at our annual Sav-A-Life Shelby Banquet as Herb Lusk describes his life’s mission to help hundreds of women, men and babies seeking help in a world turned upside-down. Our Pregnancy Resource Center in Pelham restores hope to those in need, and this banquet will shed light on what is happening both in Philadelphia and our local area. Come learn how we are working to change hearts and minds and to help the most helpless in our society: unborn babies and their families.

Reverend Dr. Herbert H. Lusk, II has been the Senior Pastor of Greater Exodus Baptist Church since 1982 and the church has grown from 17 members to over 2,000 under his leadership. Pastor Lusk has committed himself ever increasingly to service of those in poverty: the jobless, the homeless, the hungry, and those in prison and their children, having left his position as a running back for the Philadelphia Eagles team to do so. Pastor Lusk was also known as the “praying tail back” in the NFL and was recognized by two documentaries from ESPN and NFL Films, as the first NFL player to kneel and pray after scoring. When he was asked what he was doing he replied simply, “I was just giving thanks!
