Earlier this summer, West Kentucky FCA held their 4th annual Senior Sendoff for students who were involved in FCA ministry. It was a night to say thank you also encourage them before they move on to this next season of life. Zach Shipley, Murray State FCA Director and Hardin college leader, gave a Senior Charge, challenging them to remember who they are and why they are at college. A panel of college students answered questions/gave advice about staying strong in faith during college. They ended the night with a special time of prayer with the students and parents. We're praising the Lord for the opportunity FCA has brought to invest in student leaders like this! Pray with us as we look forward to how God uses each of them in the future!

HUDDLES are the bread and butter of FCA ministry. They are groups of coaches and athletes meeting regularly to hear, study, and apply God’s Word. These huddles take place in locker rooms, classrooms, dugouts, sidelines, bleachers, living rooms, and online. As we start another semester, it's been an encouragement to see huddles begin again! Pray with us that God will use FCA student leaders and character coaches from around the region to gather, grow, and go.

FCA Internship Highlight >> Northeast Alabama FCA

The Northeast Alabama FCA internship process begins with an interest meeting in February, followed by an extensive interview process. Interns kick off the summer with a week-and-a-half long Spiritual Bootcamp consisting of a Bible Class, Dynamic Communication Workshop, and learning how to share their faith.

Throughout the summer, interns help lead four Sports Camps across Northeast Alabama for children ages 7–13. This summer, we saw more than 200 campers make professions of faith in Christ. Midway through the internship, the team travels to St. Simons Island for Student Leadership Advance; a time to rest, refocus, and grow deeper in their faith together. The summer concludes with Middle School and High School Power Leadership Conferences, where students from surrounding schools are engaged, equipped, and empowered to take the Gospel back to their schools and communities.

Intern Testimony: Testimony: Hallie Wheeler (UNA sophomore/accounting)
“I grew up knowing and being around FCA, but I finally decided to go through the internship process after my sophomore year of college. From volunteering the previous year, I was able to see the friendships and family that was formed between all the interns and staff. I knew I wanted to be a part of that, and joining that family has been a huge blessing in my life. Being surrounded by fellow believers daily that will hold me accountable and push me to grow in my walk with the Lord has been truly life changing for me. I have been challenged in ways that I have never been challenged before in my faith, but the growth I have seen from it is unbelievable. If I could go back to my high school self, I would have started interning with FCA a long time ago! The best way I know how to describe this internship is a place you will leave feeling more challenged than ever, but never dread going back to the next day. It’s an environment that fills your cup till it’s overflowing, and then some more! I have learned so many lessons and skills that will help me be better there, because I was here!”

As summer and camps come to a close, remember this: the same God who met you there is with you today as you begin a new school year. ✝️

The same God who met you during worship, spoke to you through His Word, and challenged you to grow in your faith is the same God who will walk with you through your classrooms, locker rooms, practices, and games. How are you trusting God as you head back to school? Let us know below so we can pray for you. 🙏

“And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.” Acts 2:42

The SEC Regional Board and SEC Lead team came together over a few days to fellowship, study, retreat, plan, learn, worship, and pray over the ministry of FCA to nearly 250,000 athletes and coaches across the region. We're so thankful for a time of intentional development and planning for the upcoming school year as we dive into a new semester of FCA ministry.
