SPEAKER: Phil Stone - CBMC Inc, Donor Relations Officer
For 29 years, Phil Stone lived his dream calling play-by-play of NFL Football and Major League Baseball for NBC Sports and hosted golf and almost every Olympic sport for ESPN. He was the Voice of the Pac-10 for Prime Ticket Network. Today, he prefers sharing his testimony punctuated by captivating stories of his days in the broadcast booth.
In 1994, Phil began wondering if there was anything more to life than travelling the world doing sports.
On fire for Christ and looking to accelerate his walk, Phil met Dick Bridgman, who, for 27 years, headed up CBMC in San Diego. They became fast friends and together they launched a National Day of Prayer Breakfast which Phil emceed for years. Since those days, Phil has emceed or shared his testimony at numerous other CBMC outreaches and prayer breakfasts, as well as the Fellowship of Christian Athletes annual Holiday Bowl Prayer Breakfast, attended by over 1,500.
After 32 years in San Diego, Phil moved cross-country to join CBMC, as National Director of Broadcast Production and Marketing, in July 2008. To be called by God sometimes means trusting Him enough to leave family, friends and a lifestyle you’ve become accustomed to behind! “It was really about re-prioritizing my life and placing God first, Phil reflected.
Several years ago, Phil had the privilege of leading his 83-year-old mother to Christ and then an hour later raced to a Columbus area hospital to lead her twin sister to the Lord, one day before she met Him face-to-face. He calls that frigid December day the greatest day of his life.
Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, Phil is a devoted Buckeye fan and has two grown children, Brent and Lindsay.
