Team FCA Camp

     This week we welcomed all the interns to Alexandria as well as campers on thursday afternoon for Team FCA and Jr. FCA. My team was with FCA Jr. Black as we went 2-1 this weekend and had 11 total campers accepted Jesus in their lives. We prepared, trained and tried our best to further the kingdom of God and making disciples. 



    The impact I felt was amazing and had very interactive conversations, devo talks and hockey talks with many of my team, the other FCA Jr. team and older kids that I've known since I started this 3 years ago. It was cold most of the weekend, but we got a lot accomplished and introducing a worship team with Travis, Allie and Addison. Also for the 1st time we had a junior/ youth hockey panel talking about the hockey culture and how to combat it with our faith and make it better. We watched the chosen, a tv series free to watch, about the disciples of the bible and their story within following Jesus. Games, workouts, yoga, nutrition and mental toughness training was a big chunk of our day and a great afternoons at Lake Geneva where our dorms we're. 

    As things got rough or seemed out of control, God helped us and guide us through being tired, relying on each other to accomplish the weekend. God tells us in his words to 'boast in our weaknesses' as God driven men of God spoke between interns, FCA Hockey staff and coaches that joined us. Between powerful testimonies, devotions and talking in the hallways, on the ice and in the rink about God. Everyone who came hopefully don't remember me honestly, remember the team records, the coaches that asked about future plans in hockey and such. I pray they remember the interaction with the holy spirit and gain faith to pursue it.

    Our Theme verse of this summer is pursue. 1st Timothy 6:11 says to "Pursue righteousness and a godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance and gentleness." It is very important to know that the beginning of this verse it talks about "Running from evil" as there is lot and it either we pursue Gods plan in our life of our evil one we get entangled with. Through the 4 day, we talked about pursuing Truth, Life, Team and Mission. They all have a common theme of understanding and doing what the lord has plan in out life.

Now as we rested on Monday, our minds haven't settled down by how much impact was caused by Jesus and his message once again, traveling around the world. I'll be going over what interns do later this next week, until them thank you for reading, praying for us and donating for me to be a small part of the whole mission FCA Hockey has.

We set up our rooms and chat about our hockey and faith experiences and connected real quick.     This week, we started most of the days with an ice session that was great! We as a group then sat down and talked about our duty's here, learning the facilities and worked on our testimonies. As Thursday came around, our first camp, Team FCA started.

Christian cup

  This week is the Christian cup, a camp for FCA Hockey I usually can’t make, but this year I got to play on the FCA Dragons. This team was filled with almost all of the Northstar and FCA Hockey front office which is know as the toughest office in the league. To start of the weekend we lost 9-7 but had a big comeback being down 6-1 at one point. Saturday morning we won 8-1 that bid us into the championship game Sunday morning. Then a great testimony from Bobby Robbins, a great man of God and a strong man. He shared his sinful past and his hockey past that is now glorified through Jesus Christ and now uses him testimony to spread the gospel to whoever he encounters. After that we played a mix-match game with a team and I became a Nordique! Then Sunday morning at 7am, we played the Knights again, the 1st team we lost to filled with u18 active Northstar Knights players. We won the final game 5-4.       The topic of the weekend is the 10 traits of a Godly Man...
