Every week, exciting things are happening on our campuses throughout the Lakelands area. Below you will find a small sample of the awesome stories huddle leaders are sharing with us. As Linda would say, “God is on the move!”

• “The students were thrilled and supportive, and I had the middle school teachers coming to find me at lunch to let me know how excited the group from FCA was.” ~ Kathryn Wallace, Cherokee Trail
• “We had one make a decision for the first time which makes it all worthwhile.” ~ Jason Burton, Belton MS
• “My student leaders were awesome, and I just got out of the way and let God do his work through them.” ~ Steve McGaha, Ware Shoals HS
• “I just want to give a praise. This past Friday at the girls’ meal we had 10 girls recommitment their lives to Christ, and out of those, 9 are wanting to be contacted by pro team members for guidance, encouragement and prayer.” ~ Krystal Price, Abbeville HS PRO Team

“We feel like the most important aspect of our Football Program is to give
our young  men an opportunity to play on God’s team. FCA camp plays a vital role in helping us achieve this most important goal.”
Coach Chris Liner, Head Football Coach, Ninety Six High School

“We had a great competition on the field, and it was an incredible night to watch God work.
It is amazing what God will do if we will just get out of His way and let Him work!”
Coach Jamie Nickles, Abbeville High School

The Greenwood High School Girls’ Basketball Team attends FCA Team Basketball Camp each summer. This team is led by Coach Susan Thompson. She reported that the GHS Lady Eagles said FCA is a “Faithful Community of Athletes.”

FCA TEAM CIA, which stands for Christ in Action and Christ in All, started last year at Wright Middle School. This organization is made up of parents and other adults and is similar to the AHS PRO Team. CIA fed the football teams and cheerleaders, thanks to First Baptist Church and Cypress Chapel AME Church. With meals provided by Mount Pleasant Baptist, Washington Presbyterian, and Cypress Chapel AME Churches, they fed the girls’ and boys’ basketball teams. AHS Senior Dureal Elmore shared his testimony with the basketball teams (see photo). The Wright Middle School Huddle meets every other Friday at 7:45 AM with 100+ members.

“When I was young and still playing sports so many wonderful people placed a lot of love and care into my life. I just feel it's about time I put some love and care back into young people today. There is no better way to do that than to give them Jesus.”

Dr. Ted Williams, Team Chaplin, Boys’ Basketball and JV Baseball, Greenwood High School; FCA Huddle at Cambridge Academy.

The Lander University coaches meet every Tuesday morning during the Fall and Spring semesters for Bible study and prayer. They are currently studying one of the books from the FCA “FOUR CORE” entitled “Excellence.” It is an hour well spent encouraging and praying for one another.

Greenwood Christian School has started an FCA Huddle with 30 high school students! It is exciting to see 30% of the high school student enrollment at GCS participate in the inaugural FCA Huddle Meeting, and they are excited about this ministry!
