What a blessing it is to see God at work at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. We have had a wonderful year and God has truly blessed our ministry and all who so diligently volunteer and minister to the area students, athletes, and coaches.
Camps are underway and we have 22 different teams of various camps which include: cheer, baseball, softball, football, basketball, soccer and leadership camp, just to name a few. Team camps will be serving 1400-1500 students this summer. Camps are an excellent source of information so that students and athletes can learn more about God, how FCA works, huddle groups and new friendships.
Bobby Willis and Brian Gay have been visiting ball practices, which include softball, football, and basketball. This gives FCA the opportunity to pray with the players, give a small devotional, and share Christ in a loving way. This also gives us the opportunity to share with the coaches, pray with them and meet any of their needs as they arise. We are truly blessed to live in a community that is so accepting of the Gospel and allows FCA to go into the schools spreading the love of Jesus Christ.
We have a few upcoming events. First, Christ Makes Winners Rally will be held on Wednesday, August 16 at First Baptist Church, Valdosta (200 W. Central Ave.) with everyone welcome to come at 6 p.m. for free food. The doors will otherwise open at 6:20 p.m. and the rally will be from 6:30-8:00 p.m. Our guest speaker this year will be Chris Musgrove with Future Now and the praise band will be from Future Now as well. This always proves to be a great way to kick off the new school year.
Second, we will have our annual Leadership Training at Wild Adventures on Saturday, September 16, 2017. The schedule is in the process of being planned and all can be assured it will be better than ever.
We are looking forward to a great year at the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and look forward to the prayers and support of Valdosta and surrounding communities.
