The Blessing of FCA
Before Covid, FCA met in the mornings before school. Max said, “It starts your day off right. I like that it’s in the mornings because the best thing to do when you wake up is to connect with God and it sets you on the right path. Everyone leaves joyful and happy and ready for the day.” Now with Covid, Mankato East
and West High Schools and Minnesota State University – Mankato
and Gustavus Adolphus College
huddles have joined together virtually one evening a week. While it is no longer a way to start the day, it is still equally meaningful. Max says, “It’s super cool because we get to connect with the Staleys [FCA staff]. When you put together Bob
[FCA staff] and Karen and Maurice
and Becki
– there’s so much knowledge and so much Spirit in the whole thing. It’s super cool.”
FCA has prepared Max and thousands of other FCA students to be Christ-centered leaders who regularly share their faith with others throughout their lives. Max says, “Being a leader, you see different faces, and a lot of them are ones you would never have the courage or have thought of to share Christ with. You can use those opportunities to share your story. It gives you courage the more and more you do that. Having that opportunity at such a young age through FCA – high school is the place you don’t talk about these things - to have these opportunities that are totally opposite of society and being able to talk to people about eternity is really preparing us for life. The younger we start to learn and do these things, the better we will be prepared down the road.”
Pray for
athletes all over Minnesota who are involved with FCA huddles. Pray they would have hearts for the lost and the fc
with them the greatest hope there is.
