God is at Work!
God is at work! The FCA Ministry Impact Report recently came out with some incredible numbers. In the past 12 months, ending on August 31, 2007, a record 2,002,664 people were impacted by FCA! This is about 700,000 more than the previous year – an over 50% increase! We also saw 44,015 new decisions for Christ, a growth of almost 10,000 people.
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. (1 Cor. 15:57-58)
Because of the important strategic plan God gave us and how He is moving through this ministry, this is a critical time to move forward in putting “the heart and soul in sports.” We have already begun implementing several new ideas, events and services to expand our ministry programs, grow the staff and serve the staff and FCA community. We are excited to share the progress with you in detail in this update.
Thank you for your faithful partnership in advancing the impact of FCA across America and the world. Your commitment to the Heart and Soul campaign ensures future victories for the cause of Christ. Please contact me anytime with questions or comments on our strategic plan, fundraising or any part of FCA’s work to “impact the world through Jesus Christ through the influence of athletes and coaches.”
Your teammate in Christ,
Les Steckel
