1. Local Training: You can click on the document below to review notes and outlines from our Training Sessions. Use this document with your FCA staff/team and encourage them to keep serving God.
2. Online Help: For the first time in the history of FCA our resources are available in one place, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. You can now browse over 1,700+ free FCA resources, share the resources for free with friends via text, email or post to your profile. Find devotional challenges, Bible studies, icebreakers, outreach ideas, videos, podcasts skits, wallpaper, articles, and more! Visit http://www.fcaresources.com/home now! ALSO available at the beginning of October: On-line training, social networking, and a discipleship program for athletes and coaches!

I just know that with the whole FCA thing a lot of great young woman and men stood up to take the test for Jesus - To stand up for Christ and not be afraid to admit it. I loved seeing young women and men stand up in there class and come to the meetings to hear what different peers, teachers, coaches, and others had to say about Jesus Christ or characters. We had some strong testimonies and also good lessons. I personally saw some change in some students. I saw that the meetings opens there eyes to see what was really going on in the school and events. I was glad to see them stand up. I hope it continues to blossom into a awesome place to praise and worship the heavenly father. ~ jackie~ fca leader (Jackie was a 2005 graduate and student leader at Pettisville High School)

Reaching into the Community
to "Make an Impact"
The Huddle Ministry of FCA
VISION
To have an active and effective Huddle in every junior high, high school and college in America that is presenting Christ through fellowship, growth and outreach.
THE FCA HUDDLE
The FCA Huddle grew out of a desire to continue the FCA Camping experience during the school year. The Huddle is a place where athletes and coaches grow spiritually, whether that means initial salvation or traveling further along the road toward spiritual maturity. The goals of the Huddle help us determine the methods we use. The goals of the Huddle include:
Fellowship
Fellowship is building a caring and accepting community where those seeking a deeper spiritual life are accepted and encouraged. Examples: Praying together, making new people feel welcome, participating in Huddle activities, eating with friends, encouraging them to develop their talents.
Growth
Growth is developing a balanced Christian life that encourages a growing obedience to Jesus Christ. Examples: Participating in Huddle meetings, reading the Bible regularly, taking notes on your Pastor’s sermons, joining a youth Bible study at your church, memorizing Scripture, having a daily "Quiet Time."
Outreach
Outreach is demonstrating by words and deeds to the world around us our relationship with Christ. Examples: Praying for non-Christian friends, volunteering to work in Special Olympics, planning a Huddle meeting as an outreach to the school, adopting a family through Prison Fellowship at Christmas, sharing your testimony with a friend, giving a speech in speech class on "Why I am a Christian," participating in a community food drive for needy families.
So, an FCA Huddle is not:
* A group that appears to have all the answers
* A group led by a person who does all the talking
* Closed to non-Christians
But, an FCA Huddle is:
* A group committed to growing spiritually
* Reaching out to others both in word and deed
* A place where individuals can participate, feel welcomed and understood
Whether your Huddle has 5 or 500 student athletes, every meeting ought to include activities that further these goals. There may be a particular emphasis at a meeting, but all three (fellowship, growth and outreach) must be kept in mind. The goal of fellowship encourages us to use programs that are geared toward participation. The goal of growth encourages us to keep the subject matter centered on the Bible. The goal of outreach encourages us to create a hospitable attitude in our Huddle.

Team Times
Rex, Daniel Vandock, Josh Erd, Pastor Mike Martinelli, Brad Hurtig, Rick Straley, and other coaches are also running "Team Times." Basically, we take 3-5 minutes in practice or at the end of practice to share positive characteristics of a competitor. Maybe it's a talk about commitment, teamwork, attitude, passion, or the focus may on perseverance or peace. It's usually something the players can use on the field/court and off the field/court. Our staff, as well as local youth pastors, or other coaches are willing to come and share - just ask. Team Times are meant to help the coaches and athletes. No agenda. Coaches, if you are already doing something like a "Team Time" with your team, please let our office know, so that we can be praying for you! This fall we will be working with 25 teams!
