Mike Tyson Missionary Man?

Did you know that Mike Tyson wants to become a missionary?  I didn't either, but I saw this story today and thought it was very interesting - especially this part of the article:

"At one point I thought life was about acquiring things. But as life goes on we lose more things than we gain," Tyson said. "I have wealthy children. I don't have any money but they have a great life."

Tyson, who turns 39 on June 30, doubts he can ever escape his past while living in the United States.

"I'll never be successful in this country. I have to go somewhere abroad," Tyson said. "I don't think I'm going to do too well in this country because I'm stigmatised.

"I may be bizarre sometimes but I'm a natural. I understand my situation. I don't want to lose to myself. I just want to be a man who is aware of his situations and who is happy."

Tyson said that would come from missionary work, although he gave no clue about his destination once he leaves the US.

"I just want to do something that helps someone. I just want to help somebody," Tyson said. "I have to be contributing to something. If I don't I feel emotionally dead."

Asked about going to Sudan, Tyson said: "The reason African-Americans are slaves in this country is because the Arabs sold us to the Christians. It's a pretty horrific situation.

"I don't know if I'm capable of doing any missionary work without being killed."

What I find interesting is Tyson does not say what kind of missionary he would be.  What do you think?

ADDENDUM:  I just read this quote from another article about Mike.

“There is some Christian missionary work that was interested in letting me come to Bosnia, go to Rwanda, go to different countries to help with aid and food for people that are in dire need.”

Interesting huh?
