Update on What's Going On with these Camps!!!!

Here is an update of what we're doing in the camp office (Brian and I). A similar version of this was sent out to over 400 people today (both Christians and non-Christians) who are involved with the Western Region FCA (donors, coaches, leaders, parents, etc.) as a way to update people with what is going on at camps. This is an important aspect of our job, as it informs those who support FCA in some capacity.

Hume Lake Camp In partnership with Hume Lake, FCA hosted its second of three TEAM Football Camps this past weekend (May 17-19). High school teams and their coaches all participated during this life-changing weekend. Thank you for all your prayers, as there were 76 decisions for Christ, along with 264 bibles distributed among 396 attendees (coaches and athletes)!                            Here is a recap video of what happened at Week 1’s camp (May 10-12): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BF7I_iqVyPI Wrestling Camp There were about 70 kids and 20 parents at the OC FCA Wrestling Clinic on Saturday, May 11. It was led by FCA Urban OC Area Representative Tony Gomez. 35 wrestlers accepted the Lord at this camp. Thank you for all your prayers! Having wrestled both in middle school and one year in high school—I know how tough of a sport it is—it takes a toll on one mentally and physically—as you give everything you have out there on the mat. I personally learned so much about hard work and discipline that correlated directly to my walk with Christ under great coaches and leadership with FCA that instilled these values in me. These wrestling camps are amazing ways to teach kids strong values that are Christ-centered that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives.   Intern Insight As I embarked on this journey--from Detroit to San Diego—there were a lot of unknowns. This was a huge leap of faith for me—but that’s what the beauty of our faith in Jesus is all about: “He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. " – Matthew 17:20. God has taught me a lot so far and I am so excited to see the work He will be doing at these upcoming camps. He is working in my heart, preparing me for the work He has for me this summer and I know He is preparing big things for these camps to transform lives for His Kingdom. My theme verse for this summer is James 1:27: “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look afterorphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” God Bless you all and have a great Memorial Day Weekend! The mission of FCA: To present to athletes and coaches and all whom they influence the challenge and adventure of a receiving Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, serving Him in their relationships and in the fellowship of the church.
