2010 AZ FCA SUMMER SPORTS CAMP RECAP!
By God’s grace, and through the efforts of our prayer supporters, volunteers, and donors like you, our 2010 Arizona FCA summer camp was a huge success.
The number of athletes at camp, the quality of our coaches and volunteers, and the response to the gospel has exceeded all of our expectations. This year’s summer camp was hosted, once again, at NAU in Flagstaff, AZ. It was the perfect setting for seven incredible sports camps where athletes were challenged physically, mentally and most important spiritually in their sport during two practice sessions each day.
Each practice concluded with a “Winner’s Circle” testimony by one of our coaches or huddle leaders. Not only did the testimonies give the athletes a relatable story, but it built a deeper bond between athlete and huddle leader/ coach. Our small group counselors, called “huddle leaders”, did an awesome job relating to the athletes in their sport and building relationships that opened doors for great discussions about the devotions and the guest speaker.
Our evening speakers included University of Illinios FCA director Marcellus Casey, Arizona State FCA Director Mike Sanfratello, and FCA Staff member and Cardinals Chaplain Chad Johnson. All three of these speakers were well received by the athletes. Their messages engaged the athletes, challenged their perceptions, and encouraged their hearts. God provided an AMAZING camp this year, and we feel beyond blessed.
Our Camp theme was “Unleash the Power [strengthen your core]”. This theme was based on Colossians 1:11, “…being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience…” |
