One of the world's best footballers--the deadly Brazilian striker, Kaka--will attempt to lead AC Milan to victory today over a tough Liverpool squadfor the UEFA Champions League title. (You can see highlights of his role in [dismantling Manchester United during the semifinal match here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0g0RCQnU28&ref=mereorthodoxy.com) and [a personal highlight clip here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgSaETyVDio&ref=mereorthodoxy.com).)

What few might know about Kaka, myself included until today, is that this budding superstar is also a committed Evangelical Christian. This afternoon, as part of the build up to the final, [ESPN.com is running an article](http://soccernet.espn.go.com/columns/story?id=432353&root=uefachampionsleague&cc=5901&ref=mereorthodoxy.com) that focuses in on how Kaka's character and faith have helped mold him into the internationally respected man that he is--both on and off the pitch.
