FCA Summer Camps a Success

As summer comes to an end, we are overjoyed with the success that our camps have had over the past months and excited to see that lives were changed. There were many first time decisions for Christ and commitments to serve Him on a more personal level.

Faith in Football was held on July 13 in Clinch County with 300 players and 30 coaches in attendance. This is a one-day football camp, and the guest speaker was Reggie Hutchins, the chaplain for the Florida State Football team and a team member of The Fellowship of Christian Athletes in Tallahassee, Florida.

There was a one-day football camp in Albany, Georgia, on July 18, and the guest speaker was Derrick Moore, chaplain for Georgia Tech. This camp had 350 players and 35 coaches in attendance. Brooks County attended this camp with over 70 players in attendance.

On July 14-15, we had a football camp at Valdosta State University with 500 in attendance. On July 19-20, FCA had a padded football camp in Cook County with eight area schools represented. There were a total of 480 players and 40 coaches. Valdosta State University hosted a cheer camp July 24 -28.

Mary Lou Braswell, former head cheer coach for the University of Georgia cheerleaders and a staff member with FCA, heads up all cheer camps in the Southern United States and lead camp at VSU. We had a great week and are hoping we made an impact on many young girls’ lives and their coaches. Lanier County sent 39 players and seven coaches to FCA Football Camp at Georgia Southern University. There was a total of 32 teams going to various FCA camps this summer. Overall, our camp season has been phenomenal, and we always look forward to next year so that we can send even more athletes and coaches to camps all over the state of Georgia and beyond.

On August 17, we had our annual Christ Makes Winners Rally at First Baptist Church in the Family Life Center. Music was provided by Future Now Praise Band, and the guest speaker was Chris Musgrove, who is a chaplain with Future Now. Everyone was invited to attend around 6 p.m. for free food, and then the Rally was from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m.

We anticipate having a great year at The Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and we covet your prayers. God has called us into ministry, and we strive to do the best job that we possibly can while giving God all the glory. It is always a joy to see young and old accept Christ for the first time and to see the peace and determination that comes along with that new commitment. Thank you for serving with us in the Valdosta community.
