Outspoken Christian Matt Elrod had hoped his faith would not only carry him, but affect his fellow competitors and viewers on the recently-finished Survivor: Redemption Island, and it seems his prayers were answered.
A few fellow contestants were emboldened by Elrod’s faith and example, including one who said she was going to find a Christian church when she returned home.
“God was with me every step of the way,” Elrod is quoted in a recent story in the Christian Post. “I praise His name for just letting me be a vessel for Him. That’s been my reward for all the struggle and all the strife I’ve been through.”
