Advisory Board
Paul & Pam Olson
For over 45 years, Paul and Pam have delighted in the privilege and passion to support sports ministries. It began with a high school FCA huddle and now the Twin Cities FCA Collegiate ministry. A few years ago, they purchased the FCA House perched on the edge of the Macalester College campus. This place of ministry served as a launching pad for the ministry that serves multiple campuses and hundreds of athletes. Paul and Pam give joyfully of their time, talent and treasure. They mentor and inspire others to serve and give generously. They are blessed with three married children and seven grandchildren.
Tom Lamphere
Tom has dedicated his life to mentoring college and professional athletes and coaches, leading many to faith, guiding them to live with integrity, and showing them how they can use their accomplishments for something greater than themselves. Tom and his wife Jeannie served in campus ministry and with the bush villages with the Eskimos and Athabascan Indians in and around Fairbanks, Alaska before moving to Minnesota in 1985. Tom worked as team chaplain with the Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Twins and Minnesota North Stars. His current focus is with athletes and coaches of the University of Minnesota, Minnesota Vikings, NFL Coaches Fellowship and NFL Executive Fellowship.
Glenn Martin
After a 37-year career in public education, I was blessed to serve as the MN FCA state director for seven years. Currently "retired," I work a few days a week at a senior residence.
My career in education was spent entirely in Spring Lake Park schools. Starting as a math teacher and coach, I moved into administration, spending the last 17 years as the high school principal. I have been married to Barb for 33 years and have two adult children and three grandsons, all of whom live in Iowa. My love of sports is transcended only by my love of family and Jesus! We have attended Calvary Church in Roseville for over 20 years and served in a number of ways.
Bob & Carol Bjorklund
Bob and Carol’s first exposure to FCA was at the University of Minnesota in the early 1970’s where they were students, and Bob participated in the huddle there. As they taught in several high schools in Minnesota, their involvement with FCA followed them as huddle leaders and summer sports camps attendees where Bob was often a clinician and Carol and kids participated in the family activities at the camp each year. After coaching high school basketball for several years, Bob accepted the head men’s basketball coach position at Bethel University in 1997. He transitioned to the role of Director of Athletics at Bethel in 2006. Currently, as retirees, a weekly highlight for Bob is the opportunity to join with area college coaches and administrators to spur each other on in actively pursuing lives of impact for Kingdom work. Carol enjoys coming alongside FCA staff, supporting them through prayer and encouragement. They have two married children and six grandchildren
