Video Update for September


In this video, I share the vision God has placed on my heart for the upcoming ministry year. I truly believe the Lord is preparing to multiply the work of FCA in powerful ways across our region. This year, I am praying and working toward raising up at least 20 more volunteers who will come alongside us in ministry. Volunteers are the heartbeat of FCA, and with more hands and hearts engaged, we will be able to reach more athletes and coaches than ever before.


I also see God opening doors to connect with more coaches—through coaches’ breakfasts, community events, and intentional one-on-one conversations. These connections aren’t just about relationships; they are about empowering coaches to see themselves as disciple-makers and leaders of huddles where athletes can grow in faith.


With athletes, my hope is to leverage the strong relationships we’ve already built, encouraging and equipping them to step out in leadership by starting huddles on their campuses. There’s nothing more exciting than seeing a student-athlete catch the vision of leading their peers in discipleship.


Another key piece of the vision is to connect with more local churches. My prayer is that more churches across our region will catch the vision for FCA Power Camps—partnering with us to host these camps so we can reach kids with both sports and the gospel in their own communities.



But with all of this growth comes both opportunity and responsibility. Covering such a large region and onboarding additional staff requires us to grow our financial support base. It’s vital that we strengthen our financial foundation—not only to sustain what God is doing now, but to prepare for what He is calling us to in the future. This is why we invite others to come alongside FCA as financial partners, as well as volunteers, to help advance the mission and see lives transformed through Christ and the influence of sports.


 

The volunteer is the most significant part of the FCA ministry. As a local, grass-roots movement, FCA depends on volunteers to be involved in every aspect of ministry. When volunteers are mobilized, they are connected and trained by local staff to make an impact in their community.

 
 

Huddle Ministry Growth

Connect with more Coaches

God is Writing a

Bigger Story Through FCA


As I look ahead to the new ministry year, I can’t help but feel both excitement and dependence on the Lord. Over this past year, I’ve seen how He has used FCA to bring coaches and athletes together around His Word, to strengthen relationships in our communities, and to open new doors for discipleship. Now, I believe He is calling us to take another bold step forward.


For 2025–26, my prayer and goal is to raise $26,000 to fuel growth in three key areas:



  • Huddles – the heartbeat of FCA. These gatherings are where coaches and athletes meet around Scripture, grow in faith, and encourage one another. To provide food, Bibles, and resources for two new huddles launching this year, we’ll need $1,000.
  • The Local Ministry Development Fund. The next step for FCA in our area is adding staff so we can reach even more athletes and coaches. By building a $10,000 fund, we can help onboard new staff, easing the support burden and setting them up for long-term ministry success.
  • Expanding All Abilities Ministry. What began in Schoharie County has already transformed the lives of athletes with special needs and their families. Now, God is giving us the opportunity to expand into the Capital District. To do this well, we need $15,000 to provide resources, events, and ongoing family support.


All together, this is a $26,000 vision. Every dollar represents an opportunity—an athlete receiving a Bible, a coach being encouraged in their faith, a family of a child with special needs experiencing the love of Christ.

I can’t do this alone. FCA is a volunteer-driven, donor-supported ministry, and this next step forward requires a team. Would you prayerfully consider joining my Home Team? Whether through prayer, volunteering, or financial partnership, you can be part of what God is doing through FCA right here in our region.


Together, we can see lives changed and the gospel advanced through the influence of sports.
