Fellowship of Christian Athletes
 
 

DEAR AMAZING TEAM


I don’t even know where to begin except by saying Thank you!


Over the past several months, I have witnessed God’s faithfulness in ways I could have never imagined. There were moments of uncertainty, countless prayers, and many conversations where I simply trusted that if God had called me, He would make a way.


And He did!

 

GOD OF POSSIBLE


After the incredible opportunity to throw out the first pitch for the Arizona Diamondbacks and share my testimony, God continued opening doors. Shortly afterward, I reached 100% of my ministry support goal, and on July 1st, I officially began serving full-time with Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA).

 
 

THE VICTORY IS OURS IN CHRIST JESUS


This milestone isn’t just my story—it’s ours. Every prayer you’ve prayed, every encouraging message you’ve sent, and every financial gift you’ve given has helped make this possible.


Soon after beginning ministry, I had the privilege of serving at FCA Camp at Northern Arizona University. More than 400 athletes attended from across the state, along with many coaches who came to be encouraged, equipped, and strengthened in their own faith and leadership.

 
 

MEET VIC (a moment I’ll never forget)


I had the privilege to witness a young athlete get a supernatural encounter with Jesus! Young Vic was playing football and all of sudden, he got air knocked out of him, and he could not breathe right for a second! He then had a panic attack and was afraid. He had a huddle leader name Johnny who was there holding him, Johnny saw me and called me over. I went over and asked what’s wrong, Vic responded “I’m scared..” I remember when I was afraid, afraid to die. But my Savior appeared to me and said to me, “My son, do not be afraid.” Those words changed my life! So, I had the courage to tell Vic with authority “don’t be afraid.” We then started praying with Johnny for Vic! Then other coaches came and started praying with us. Then we all witnessed Vic go to a place and started looking around saying, “I feel HIM! I feel JESUS! He has His hand on me!” he went from panic mode to complete peace, he held Johnny’s hand and asked him if he could read a scripture, Johnny read a scripture and I read a scripture for him. The scripture I read to him was Psalms 27. He then started to smile and started coming back to his normal self. A couple hours past by and time to go worship had come but Vic found me and he walked up to me with Johnny and said to me, “I remember you!” I asked him how he remembered me? He responds “I don’t remember what I said or what was happening but I remember you praying for me. I blacked out.” I was like wow!! Vic Jesus Loves you! His response to me was “I Know He does! It was beautiful.” I was overwhelmed by how amazing our God is! Vic had a huge smile on his face and all his peers felt his light and his renewed spirit! Such an honor to have witnessed this young athlete’s story! Later, a call to accept Jesus came, and Vic gave his life to Jesus! Praise the Lord!

 
 

None of this would have happened without you.

 
 

Nearly 300 athletes made decisions to follow Jesus Christ.


Watching young men and women surrender their lives to Christ, worship together, hear the Gospel, and begin walking in a new relationship with Him is something I will never forget. God moved in a mighty way throughout the 4 days, and I left completely humbled.

 

Prayer Requests


* Pray for the athletes who made decisions to follow Jesus at FCA Camp—that they would continue growing in their faith.

* Pray for the coaches as they lead and influence the this generation.

* Pray for wisdom, boldness, and endurance as I continue serving schools throughout the East Valley.

* Pray that God would continue opening doors for the Gospel to reach more coaches and athletes.


From the bottom of my heart,


Thank you for walking this journey with me.

 

COMING SOON…


I am also excited to share that God has been working on another dream He placed on my heart.


Stay tuned for the release of my first book, Forty One Goats.


This book tells the story of my journey—from shepherding 41 goats in a refugee camp, to surviving a life-changing motorcycle accident, and ultimately discovering God’s calling on my life. My prayer is that this story will encourage readers to trust God’s faithfulness, find hope in adversity, and believe that He can use every season of life for His glory.


I can’t wait to share this journey with you. Thank you for being part of the story God is still writing.


From the bottom of my heart,


Thank you for walking this journey with me.
