FCA Camp Recap - Multi-Sport Camp - Nampa, ID
God moved big this year at our Fellowship of Christian Athlete Multi-sport camp in Nampa, ID. Coaches and athletes were engaged, equipped and empowered to be disciples that make disciples.
NAMPA, ID -
On June 26th, 2023, more than 500 coaches and athletes converged on the campus of Northwest Nazarene University for the Fellowship of Christian Athlete sport camp. Coaches and athletes from across the Pacific Northwest gathered in Nampa, sharing a common goal: to enhance their athletic skills in the sports they loved.
Our camp offered participation in over 20 different sports, ranging from basketball to motocross, archery to mountain biking. FCA's core mission is to guide each coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church. To achieve this mission, we are committed to providing a diverse range of sports environments through our FCA ministry sports camps.
Athletes were grouped into huddles with peers from their respective sports, led by college athletes who were followers of Jesus. This dynamic served a twofold purpose: firstly, to foster deep community bonds over the course of 5 brief days, and secondly, to embody the principle of "Follow me as I follow Christ," as articulated by Paul. The ultimate victory for the Fellowship of Christians Athletes lies in nurturing disciples who, in turn, make disciples in both our coaches ministry and athlete ministry. This overarching principle informs every facet of our Fellowship of Christian Athletes ministry and sports camps.
Throughout the week, we coached both coaches and athletes to excel on the field. Yet what sets FCA apart is our commitment to fostering an environment where these same individuals can also encounter Jesus profoundly.
One athlete said, "I came excited to grow in my skill, but now each day I am excited to grow spiritually."
Each evening at our FCA camp featured a chapel session where we would collectively worship King Jesus and absorb teachings from His word. With each passing night, new brothers and sisters were welcomed into the family of God. Our gratitude for God's work during the camp knows no bounds.
However, the impact doesn't conclude at the camp. We hold a deep concern for discipleship. We empowered these coaches and athletes to return to their communities, schools, and teams, living out the discipleship to which God has called them.
Discipleship is an unstoppable force. While these five days in Nampa, ID were undeniably impactful, we are steadfast in our belief that what God accomplishes through the lives of these coaches and athletes in the ensuing days, as a result of their involvement with FCA and our ministry sports camps, will yield the most abundant fruit.
