As the Winnipeg Blue Bombers land in Regina for the Western Final, chaplain Lorne Korol says the Grey Cup is not his team's ultimate prize.

Korol, Pro Sports Chaplain for Athletes in Action, is on the road with the Bombers for their game in Regina on Sunday afternoon.

"It's the biggest platform that we have had all year," says Korol.

For Korol, the Final is not just a step towards the Grey Cup, but he says, "I keep encouraging the guys that the more Christ-like that we can be, as we lead up to the Grey Cup, the more that our light will shine and people will see that something different - that something different will be our Lord."

"You win a Grey Cup? That's awesome, but the gifts that we have through our Lord, our salvation, that's eternal."

Koral says the team is planning to have their chapel on Saturday night when they get off the plane, so they can focus on God and then the game for Sunday versus Saskatchewan.

"We'll have a really good opportunity to fellowship and have a good chapel to keep us focused on the Lord. We'll talk about our Cornerstone, what's important to us, and our relationship with Jesus Christ," says Korol.

The Bombers had a very strong start to the season with a 9-3 record and being first in West Division, but began to falter after a loss to Montreal in mid-September.

A 35-14 win in the Western semi-final versus the Calgary Stampeders showcased a new offensive style, featuring Collaros and Streveler, and could mark an upward trend for the Bombers.

Korol says, "I think there has been some adversity with our team as a whole. You know, we got off to a great start and then we hit some roadblocks and our team kind of stumbled in the second half."

In Bible Study, Korol says, "We have been studying and discussing a lot about how do we overcome adversity. We worked on that a lot on that, that's been a big theme. And now we feel like we are climbing again. We feel that we are growing as a team, growing as men of God."

Korol says in that same Bible Study one of the Bombers players says, "People are not only seeing the team grow, but they are also seeing this group go."

"This group is a really strong core of the team. it is an indicator of the pulse of the rest of the team."

With a matchup against a long-time prairie rival, Korol jokes that they still try and keep the Roughriders in their prayers: "We pray for the spirit of competition. I know, it's hard to pray for the 'Green Guys.'

"We obviously pray for safety, that there would be no injuries, pray for a hedge of protection - that it would cover not just us but the other team as well. We want to win, but we don't want to see anyone get hurt."

Quarterback Cody Fajardo is the chapel leader for Roughriders, "A real strong Christian guy," says Korol.

Korol asks that Blue Bomber fans would pray for team unity and, "For us to stay together and come together and pray together and keep focused - that's not the Grey Cup but it is our Lord Jesus Christ."
