Solomon Freelon ministers with his trumpet.

Solomon Freelon, a former linebacker for the Houston Oilers, was a special guest Sunday at the New Tabernacle Baptist Church.

Freelon now ministers across the country, not on the football field, but with his trumpet.

Freelon uses his celebrity to play musical selections that praise God and inspire hope.

In his local playing days, he was known as a terror on the football field, known as a bone crusher. Now he stomps Satan with his trumpet as a weapon.
