Just like the first disciples who received the invitation—“Come, follow me”—amidst their nets and boats along a familiar seashore, God continues to call us from our homes, workplaces, churches and playing fields. He calls us to follow Him and to love one another. We see FCA in action every day. Huddles unite and respond to disasters. Camps equip athletes with resources to know Christ. Serve teams open doors for the gospel to be shared internationally through sports. We believe that, just like that day at the Sea of Galilee, God continues to call disciples to follow Him. It’s our mission at FCA to support every coach and athlete, and to equip them with opportunities to go and make more disciples.
