The Birth of MU4C
The year was 1999. For the founder of Men United 4 Christ (MU4C), it was a year of radical, life-altering change—a personal "Road to Damascus" moment that birthed a new Christian faith. Just months into this new journey, a desperate phone call set in motion the creation of a movement that is still changing lives today.
The Olympian's Crisis
In December 1999, the phone rang. It was an anxious, worried voice belonging to the English 110-meter hurdles record holder, Tony Jarrett. Tony, a world-class athlete and multiple Olympic competitor, was in crisis: his first drug test sample, Sample A, was positive for nandrolone
A Friday Night Revelation
In January 2000, a small group of about 15-20 Christian men from various churches gathered in a room. The purpose was simple: to pray for Tony Jarrett. What followed was a complete surprise as men began speaking openly about their own struggles.
The Victory and The Legacy
The answer to their prayers came on February 24, 2000. Tony Jarrett was cleared when Sample B tested negative. Out of the desperation of one man, and the powerful honesty of that single prayer meeting, Men United 4 Christ (MU4C) was officially formed.
