Fellowship of Christian Athletes

IN THE ZONE : Fall 2025

NORTHEAST ALABAMA

Dear Teammates in Christ,


This summer has been a powerful season of engaging, equipping, and empowering the next generation. From Day 1 of Spiritual Bootcamp to the Concert of Prayer at High School PLT, God’s Hand has been evident—disciples making disciples.


Our theme from 2 Corinthians 3:18 reminded us that transformation is at the heart of discipleship—becoming more like Christ. It has been a joy to serve alongside our Summer Staff, interns, and 200+ volunteers, who gave their time, prayers, and servant hearts to help make every moment of ministry possible. We’ve watched young leaders grow in boldness, faith, and leadership. The students are ready to take the Gospel to their campuses, to their locker rooms, to their friendship circles, to their teams, and most importantly to their homes. Here is a quote from a parent post PLT, "She came home from PLT and she led family in prayer last night. Thank you all for such an amazing experience. She is excited to join FCA this fall and continue this journey".


Now, as we step into the school year, we’re gearing up to build and support leadership teams and FCA Huddles from elementary schools to college campuses—equipping students and coaches to lead and share Christ in their spheres of influence. Our strategy is simple and we call it E3: Engage, Equip, and Empower.


Your prayers and financial support have been an eternal investment, producing a ripple effect of surrendered hearts and spiritual growth. As the year begins, we are praying that the Seed (the Word of God) will continue to produce much Fruit for His Glory and for the Good of all who hear and see it! Thank you for your faithful partnership.


May HE > we


In His Grip,

Coach Ken & Team NE AL FCA
