Fellowship of Christian Athletes Looks Back on Impactful Year of Seeing the World Transformed by Christ Through the Influence of Coaches and Athletes

FCA Has Reached Millions Over the Years, Staying True to Its Mission to Lead Every Coach and Athlete into a Growing Relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—After the holidays may seem like an apt time to slow down, reflect on blessings and plan for the new year.

 

While the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA, www.fca.orgrarely slows down in its vision to see the world transformed by Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes, the 64-year-old international sports ministry is reflecting on all God has done in 2018.

 

For more than six decades, FCA has been touching millions of lives—one heart at a time. Since 1954, the ministry has challenged coaches and athletes on the professional, college, high school, junior high and youth levels to use the powerful platform of sport to reach every coach and every athlete with the transforming power of Jesus Christ. Around the globe, FCAfocuses on serving local communities by engaging, equipping and empowering coaches and athletes to unite, inspire and change the world through the gospel.

 

“We are dedicated to leading every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church,” said FCA President and CEO Shane Williamson. “By engaging coaches and athletes relationally with the gospel, equipping them through God’s Word and empowering them to make disciples of Christ, we can see the world transformed by Jesus Christ through their influence. True to FCA’s ‘Strong’ theme this year, we have had the privilege of coming alongside coaches and athletes to equip, serve, and strengthen their faith in God to live wholeheartedly for Him.”

 

The “Strong” theme was the driving force behind all FCA activities this year, and specifically guided the highly successful 2018 Camps season. FCA also saw an incredibly impactful year across the globe, with workers and resources reaching far and wide. Highlights from the past year include the following:

 

 

“In unfathomable ways only He can, God continues to take His ministry to new heights and greater depths,” Williamson added. “Staff numbers are exploding, more ground is gained, and tens of thousands of coaches and athletes, and all whom they influence, are being transformed by Jesus Christ. The ministry of FCA has been supported by those who selflessly give their time, talent and treasure to present the gospel and impact countless lives of coaches and athletes as we unite together in seeking to fulfill the vision for current and future generations.”
