In 2013 Godfrey Khotso Mokoena jumped over a narrow creek full of Nile crocodiles. The 2008 Olympic long jump silver medallist and 2014 Commonwealth triple jump champion from South Africa wanted to show he could overcome his fears and break out of his comfort zone. Mokoena's name means 'crocodile' in his Sesotho culture. We talk to the man nicknamed 'Crocodile' to find out about his life and athletics career and the faith that sustains him. We also hear from Orlando City Soccer Club chaplain, Andy Searles, in the concluding part of our interview with him. Andy tells us about his own journey to faith and why he thinks God is interested in football.
