Hello! Welcome to our FCA WY Blog.

IMPACT ON THE CALL TO SERVE

"To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:" Ecclesiastes 3:1


From Randy Larson:


"As a result of the tremendous positive impact coaches and athletes had on me when I was growing up, I decided early on to become a teacher and a coach. Nothing seemed more important to me than to be able to positively influence young people.


My first exposure to the Fellowship of Christian Athletes was through my college wrestling coach, and, when I moved to Casper, Wyoming, in 1989 to begin my teaching and coaching career, I became an FCA huddle leader at CY Junior High.


During this time I attended an FCA Family Camp in Estes Park, CO, an FCA Sports Camp in Powell, WY, and I drove a bus full of Wyoming kids to Minnesota for an FCA Sports Camp. Although my involvement in FCA was minimal from 2000 - 2013 when I left the classroom to become an administrator, my son Jeremiah was involved involved at the University of Wyoming, including participating in two mission trips to Haiti. 


When I returned to the classroom in 2013, I started and currently lead an FCA huddle at Centennial Middle School. I was teaching and leading a huddle where we were sharing the Gospel with around 35 students every week until Huddles made the shift to virtual ministry during Covid."


WHAT IS HAPPENING NOW

From Randy Larson:

"2020 has definitely been a year of transitions as my 31 year career as teacher, coach and administrator came to an end, and we moved into ministry with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. 

Though I had planned and prepared to pursue business after retiring from teaching in June, I felt a call to the ministry of FCA. After several months of prayer, Dawn and I were convinced that this is where the Lord was leading us, and we are excited to report that I am now officially on board as Staff. 

Since then we have engaged in many hours of training, fundraising, and developing a vision and plan for FCA in Central Wyoming. Even though I had been a volunteer with FCA for many years, this call to ministry was truly unexpected. 

Ultimately, we have lived in central Wyoming for thirty years and have a strong desire to see the culture transformed to the image of Christ."

WHAT TO PRAY FOR AND HOW TO HELP

From Randy Larson:


"We look forward to seeing what the Lord will do in Central Wyoming as we seek to see the cultures in our schools and communities transformed through leading coaches, athletes and all whom they influence into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.


Please pray for all current FCA leaders and also that the Lord would call more leaders to the ministry.


Thank you so much to those of you who have helped us by providing the support we need for this year. Your generosity, coupled with one-time funds provided by the FCA Casper Task Force, has enabled us to get started. One of our goals is to find enough automatic monthly partners to fully fund my position by the end of this year. If you are interested in becoming one of our financial teammates, please feel free to donate anytime."
