Weekly Recap
Last
week was an exciting week, not just for me but for Loudoun FCA as a whole. It started with an early flight out of Reagan
Airport Monday morning on my way to Kansas City, MO for new hire training. For one whole week, about 70 of us who have
been on staff with FCA for a year or less gathered at the ministry’s National
Support Center to be equipped and encouraged to serve coaches and athletes in
our communities. We came from all over
the country and all ages and stages of life to learn, fellowship, and share
ideas. What a blessing it was to spend
the week getting to know the ladies in my huddle and others in the class!

Each
morning we started with corporate worship and prayer along with a devotion on
one of FCA’s 4 Core Values: Integrity, Serving, Teamwork, and Excellence. The devotion was led by a different staff
member each day, which gave us a chance to get to know different people in the
organization. The devotion on Serving,
for example, was led by the head finance guy for the organization. This is a guy who probably spends much of his
day looking at spread sheets, but he also loves Jesus and loves to share about
Him so he took time one morning to pour into us newbies. I am continually grateful and humbled that
God called me to be a part of such an amazing group of people.
In
addition to my exciting week, Loudoun hosted its first ever Fields of Faith
last Wednesday night at Riverside High School!
I was so sad to miss the start of this new tradition but I knew my
Loudoun teammates were doing an amazing job organizing this event. Despite the crummy weather, we still had over
80 students, coaches, and parents from across the county come out for the
evening to hear student testimonies and encourage one another to live out their
faith on their campuses. You don’t have
to look too far to see how God is working in this county!
