"I hope this camp continues so I can share Jesus with more athletes.”

David's Story

Meet David! He attended the Cowlitz County FCA All-Ability Camp this past summer and when he stepped off the bus, he exclaimed, “Jesus is King!” His enthusiasm and joy of the Lord truly transformed the camp.


Throughout the camp, leaders like David emerged who grew in their faith and their ability to share it with others. David was quick to encourage his teammates; he quoted scripture and exhibited Christ-like leadership. When asked what he enjoyed about camp, David said, “Telling people about the Lord and playing sports. I hope this camp continues so I can share Jesus with more athletes.”


By the time our camp concluded, and FCA staff invited everyone to commit or recommit their lives to Christ, over a dozen hands were raised! Thank you for investing in the ministry of FCA and helping to fulfill the mission of

leading EVERY coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church.


Because of prayer warriors and financial partners that invest in FCA, athletes and coaches across Greater Portland are being engaged, equipped and empowered in unique ministry environments like this camp.


Would you prayerfully consider saying “yes” to pray for athletes and coaches across Greater Portland and the state of Oregon who are sharing the hope of Jesus like David? Would you say “yes” to a one-time gift that can bring valuable resources and support to new and existing Huddles and sport environments? This year, the goal is to raise $55,000 by December 31st to make a difference in bringing Gospel community to athletes and coaches that can make an impact on generations to come.

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) is on mission to make disciples who make disciples. Our approach is to engage relationally, equip spiritually and empower practically. The following story exemplifies this strategy being lived out in Cowlitz County. Aleta, a mother of an FCA SALT Leader, shares how she has seen her daughter's faith grow through her involvement with FCA . “As a parent, it has been remarkable to see the meaningful impact FCA has had on my daughter, Kailea. This is her second year as an Athlete Leader at Mark Morris. She grew up in church and had regularly attended kids church, youth group, summer camps, and conferences growing up. I believe the church is critical in raising children to know and serve the Lord, while also being poured into from outside voices that align with the Christian beliefs. FCA has been a phenomenal steppingstone—a ministry where she has flourished, providing her with a way to use and apply her faith like I’ve never seen before. I’ve always said, FCA has put feet to her faith. She’s discipling her peers! It’s a place outside the four walls of the church where she owns her faith and leads others to do the same. That is something so cool to see as a parent! When it’s her time to lead, it’s been amazing and oftentimes challenging to hear her thoughts as she processes out loud and prepares her devotional talks. It has helped her and I connect on our faith; I’ve been able to share about my journey, both the good and bad. I take such joy and pride in those moments because my greatest desire is for my kids to choose to follow the Lord. FCA has really been such an incredible ministry to be a part of from the sidelines, while I get a front seat in my daughter’s life!” - Aleta What an encouraging testimony of how one step of faith leads us closer to Jesus and can lead others to Him as well. Every gift this Giving Tuesday furthers the kingdom of God and allows us to continue pursuing our mission to lead every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church.
