Sometimes to get to the EVERY it starts with the ONE. What does this mean? Read about 2020 and the YEAR FCA WY learned...

Looking Back and Moving Forward...God is with us.

State Director Jim Hamilton remembers like it was yesterday when he got a phone call that they were shutting down the tournament to outsiders in Casper. We knew in that moment things were about to change. It was a moment we won't forget. 

We had Coaches who did not know if they would have their careers left. We had Athletes whose seasons were cut short and left with an uncertain future.  Camp was cancelled and it felt surreal. We even lost one of our own - a Staff member in another State. Please pray for this family. We have all been certainly affected in one way or another. 

And yet even with these hard things...
 
God was with us. He was moving, working, teaching within our lives, our Athletes and Coaches, our ministry...

Instead of big events and big numbers, we began to concentrate on really redefining and rebuilding our base and Team of Volunteers.   Virtual Ministry provided a way like never before for our Student Leaders to share their voice. Step up and step out in their faith.  We connected our spread out state with Train 2 Lead, Night of Champions, Fields of Faith and Game Day. Several attendees expressed a desire to recommit their life to Christ and grow post-event. We also distributed over 100 Bibles and Coaching materials! 

When it was time to break the news about Camp cancellations, our 2019 Camp Huddle Leaders were there for Campers. They helped put together a message online, full of their faces and full of hope. AND THE RESULT - simply POWERFUL.

Those are the ONES we are talking about. 


The ONES who stepped up, showed their faces and shared their hearts at levels 100%. The ONES who were equipped and now empowered to make Disciples into 2021. The ONES who were engaged online and in person safely when possible to hear they how they can find their identity beyond Sport and in TRUTH. That is our Vision. That is our Mission. That is what FCA is all about and we will never cancel that!


Also, we could not have done it without our Volunteers! Thank you so much for all that you do. Watch highlight video of 2020 below. 


“Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable Gift.”
