The Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) challenges coaches and athletes around the world to use the powerful platform of sport to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

While The ministry is known for sports camps and Fields of Faith events, FCA is also dedicated to sharing God’s word through Bible distribution.

In 2021, it handed out 208,624 Bibles, marking 67 years of commitment to the mission of leading players and coaches into a growing relationship with Christ and His church…

The ministry has a long record of encouraging Christians in sports to stand boldly in their faith…

The ministry first printed Bibles for camp with its logo on the cover. As the camps grew, new Bible covers were designed with each year’s theme, and more programs were added. The Bible became a key resource for those leading huddles and one-on-one discipleship meetings…

FCA’s Bible distribution took off when the ministry introduced a Sports New Testament that included testimonies from various professional athletes…

FCA printed its first Spanish New Testament in 2006. Since then, multiple resources have been translated and printed, such as FCA’s Heart of an Athlete devotional in Chinese and Spanish, Japanese Baseball New Testament, Chinese Sports Devotional Bible, and Russian Coach’s Bible…

FCA partners with YouVersion to release electronic versions of all camp Bibles. Today, FCA has more than 50 Bible reading plans in multiple languages on YouVersion, including Spanish, Ukrainian, Russian, Chinese and Korean.

“For 67 years, it has been FCA’s priority to make Jesus known throughout the world,” Williamson said. “We have a wonderful gift to give to our coaches and athletes, the hope and truth of Christ through His everlasting Word!”

I love this, the Word of God is everything. I pray these young men and women will rely on His Word throughout their lives.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth…. Jesus was hungry after His 40 days in the desert, but rebuked the urging of the tempter saying, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ He is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of God’s being, sustaining all things by His powerful Word….
John 1:1, 14; Matthew 4:4; Hebrews 1:3

What a privilege to be able to read from The Word of God, thank You Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen
