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 what is happening for Central Wyoming and Casper FCA!
"I am so excited to have Randy come on staff with FCA in Casper. Casper has had a great history with FCA. We have great volunteers and Randy was one of them. Randy, was one of my first recruits 30 years ago and when I was the first staff person in Wyoming. What a blessing to how have him serving FCA as a staff person in Casper." - Jim Hamilton, State Director

"To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:" Ecclesiastes 3:1
From Randy Larson:
"As a result of the tremendous positive impact coaches and athletes had on me when I was growing up, I decided early on to become a teacher and a coach. Nothing seemed more important to me than to be able to positively influence young people.
My first exposure to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes was through my college wrestling coach, and, when I moved to Casper, Wyoming, in 1989 to begin my teaching and coaching career, I became an FCA huddle leader at CY Junior High.
During this time I attended an FCA Family Camp in Estes Park, CO, an FCA Sports Camp in Powell, WY, and I drove a bus full of Wyoming kids to Minnesota for an FCA Sports Camp. Although my involvement in FCA was minimal from 2000 - 2013 when I left the classroom to become an administrator, my son Jeremiah was involved involved at the University of Wyoming, including participating in two mission trips to Haiti.
When I returned to the classroom in 2013, I started and currently lead an FCA huddle at Centennial Middle School. I was teaching and leading a huddle where we were sharing the Gospel with around 35 students every week until Huddles made the shift to virtual ministry during Covid."
From Randy Larson:
"We look forward to seeing what the Lord will do in Central Wyoming as we seek to see the cultures in our schools and communities transformed through leading coaches, athletes and all whom they influence into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Please pray for all current FCA leaders and also that the Lord would call more leaders to the ministry.
Thank you so much to those of you who have helped us by providing the support we need for this year. Your generosity, coupled with one-time funds provided by the FCA Casper Task Force, has enabled us to get started. One of our goals is to find enough automatic monthly partners to fully fund my position by the end of this year. If you are interested in becoming one of our financial teammates, please feel free to donate anytime."
Thank you for reading!
Blessings,
FCA Wyoming
