Finishing Strong! {FCA Spring Ministry Update}

The Goodness of God

When my family left Florida in 2014, Pastor Jonathan Winningham said these words directly to me: “Stay Stunned.” He encouraged me to watch in wonder at His work. Today, nine years later, I continue to “Stay Stunned.” 

Nobody does ministry on their own, so my heart overflows with gratitude toward the people God has called to partner with me. I understand Paul’s humble heart posture as he prayed these words about his people with such gratitude. 

I thank my God in all my remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine for you all making my prayer with joy, because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now. Phillipians 1:3-5 (ESV) 

To those who continually pray for the ministry, thank you!
To those who financially support FCA monthly (Annual Monthly Partnership), thank you!
To those who faithfully serve with me, thank you!
None of this would be possible without you, and you are an amazing Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) Home Team! 

As WE finish this semester, please enjoy this glimpse of what He’s done!

God called my family back to Florida, and we are so grateful as we have realized how perfect His timing is.  What He has done is much better and bigger than I could have imagined, and I believe this is just the beginning. I continue to be stunned at the goodness of God! 

I will be there to pour into the female coaches and coaches’ spouses as they enjoy a timeout in the north and the south of Region 14 with their spouses!
I will be there as students are learning what it looks like to be a follower of One and a leader of many at Leadership Camp!
