The 29-year-old forward used the international break to go to Jamaica for a religious cause. He recently joined the Gunners on loan from Chelsea

Raheem Sterling is making serious changes in his life as he's approaching 30.

First and foremost, he made a significant U-turn when it comes to his football career, as he decided to join Arsenal on loan from Chelsea in the last hours of the transfer window deadline day.

The 29-year-old forward is yet to make his debut for the Gunners, and we might see him in action for the first time in red and white in the North London derby against Tottenham in the Premier League on Sunday.

The former Three Lions winger used the recent international break for something unrelated to football. Footage that emerged on social media shows Sterling went to Jamaica to get baptized.

He's seen getting into a pool of water, dressed in all white. Sterling is dipped in the water as two church members hold his hands for guidance. He emerges from the pool singing, 'Goodbye World.'

Will all his career woes be washed away with this? The future at the Emirates will tell.
