Hello! Welcome to our FCA WY Blog.
We hope that the stories and updates here give insight into what God is doing in our square state. We want to engage, equip, and empower our WY athletes and coaches, along with our amazing FCA community of volunteers and supporters.
That’s why…
We would like to share with you in this post about an update from FCA Sheridan/Powder River Area.
For several years now, Field Staff Cameron Groteluschen, with his wife and family, has been serving and ministering to Athletes and Coaches in the Powder River area, which includes Sheridan and Johnson County, Kaycee, Buffalo, Avada-Clearmont, Sheridan, Bighorn, and Tongue River.
This past year, Cameron, along with the FCA WY Team, has ramped up efforts to disciple Athlete Leaders and host events within the community and with Wyoming Churches. Such events had involved the first of its kind "Fields of Faith" which had been planned last October in coordination with Rock Springs FOF and nationwide events.
Although a fall blizzard cancelled the event, Cameron had continued to work on strategies for sports ministry in the area for the 2019/2020 school year. Having attended Camp School, Cameron came into 2020 renewed and ready for the region's first Power Camp in the summer.
Fast forward...
With many Camp cancellations and postponements, FCA WY quickly shifted to discipleship and sharing the Gospel with
on-line and virtual settings to follow health and safety guidelines. While it has been a blessing to stay connected, this season has also been a different one.
Here is the interesting thing, though - when we look back we can see how God has been providing for our Staff and preparing our ministry for such times.
For FCA in Sheridan and Groteluschen, we see how God has been providing for FCA in Sheridan even before and certainly now after the pandemic...with a boat!
Years ago, a boat was given to FCA WY by a generous donor and visionary giver. Since, then this boat has been a way for Athletes and Coaches to connect off campus and off seasons and IN the great WY outdoors with Staff Groteluschen. And it also provides just one more amazing way for FCA WY to impact and influence our sports culture and communities!
