FCA Cleveland

Hello FCA!

What an exciting time of year it is for us at FCA! A couple of weekends ago (Nov 7-8), we saw around over 40 schools from around the state (700 of you in all) come to the FCA Weekend of Champions to be encouraged, challenged, and strengthened in your faith! New York Met and speaker for the weekend, Andy Green, did a fabulous job of getting real and honest with us. As a result, many of you got real and honest with God! We saw many of you commit your life to Christ and begin an eternal relationship with Him! Many more of you have shared with us how God used the weekend to “get you back on track” and to encourage you to be a bold witness for Jesus in your school! We thank God and all of you for what he did and is continuing to do through the Weekend of Champions!

For me, there were many highlights. Seeing so many of you get real with God and flood the alter on Saturday night was one of those “God moments” that happen from time to time in FCA! It was just awesome. My favorite moment of the weekend was hearing Charlie Mudd share his testimony on Sunday morning. Charlie is a student at WKU and was an exceptional multi-sport athlete in high school. I had the privilege of praying with Charlie as a middle schooler at the FCA Cameron Mills Basketball Camp. Charlie wanted Jesus to be his Lord and Savior and now Charlie is still involved with FCA influencing others to make the same life-changing decision he made at FCA camp. Thank you Charlie for the encouragement and for being such a great leader! Hearing you share your testimony with everyone at Weekend of Champions was something I will not forget!

Below is the schedule for the “Weekend of Champions” as well as a few last minute reminders to those of you coming!

“Nate Carr did a fantastic job. He had powerful messages that weren’t in great length which is good for kids. They responded well to what he said. My kids took to heart what Nate Carr said the last day: “One FCA kid can make a difference in their school and community.” Our officers got together without any push from me and decided to do a bible study every Tuesday morning in my room. They will get to share the Word with one another for 30 minutes prior to school. I think I will make them coffee and join them.

“I loved it. The worship services were great. The Buzz groups were awesome.”

“It was Rebecca’s first time to go to an FCA event. She loved it. I was amazed that there were more kids there than at the camp in the summer. The band was great.”
