FCA Magazine's First Cover from Sept/Oct 2012 featuring Dallas Cowboys' Jason Witten

As FCA grows and expands across the globe, we recognized the need to focus our branding efforts consistently across the ministry. In turn, we decided to change the name of our official publication to FCA Magazine to continue to seek awareness and recognition of the ministry and to fulfill our mission of effectively communicating Jesus Christ through FCA.

As we brainstormed cover story ideas for this historic issue, it seemed quite apropos that a member of the Dallas Cowboys would grace the cover. After all, 30 years ago, legendary head coach and longtime FCA supporter Tom Landry was featured on the first issue of our previous publication. So when the idea to feature Cowboys veteran tight end Jason Witten came up, the symmetry of it all made him a perfect fit.

Witten, who served as a co-chairman with another Cowboy legend, Roger Staubach, at the 35th annual Dallas FCA Tom Landry Open in 2012, talked with us about his athletic journey, from his childhood to the University of Tennessee to being a captain on “America’s Team.” Plus, he shared his true motivation for playing the game—his love for the Lord and the ability to impact lives for the better.

His story and many more of faith and sports will continue to fill the pages of each FCA Magazine. Thank you for being a part of this new journey. It’s our prayer that you—the coach, athlete, donor, volunteer, staff, parent, supporter or first-time reader of the magazine—would be inspired with each bi-monthly issue as you read how FCA continues to fulfill its now 58-year-old mission: To impact the world for Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes.
