2013 FCA Sports Camp

126 athletes made up the first ever FCA Sports Camp at Texas Tech University on June 21-25, 2013.  It was a great start to a brand new camp. With opportunities to practice at Jones Stadium, Dan Law Field, and some of the finest Division I facilities in the Big 12, the kids and coaches loved it and this camp will instantly grow in the future. Some of the greatest coaches from around the state partnered with FCA to instruct the kids in their different sports: football, cross country, men's and women's basketball, baseball, volleyball, and wrestling. However, it was through the vehicle of athletics that we were able to build relationships and introduce many of these athletes to Christ. Approximately 70 of those campers were saved and gave their life to Jesus Christ for the first time. Jon Randles was our Camp Pastor and Thirty-Nine Thoughts was our Camp Worship Band.

The Brownwood Area FCA was well represented by campers, huddle leaders, and coaches. Kevin Domingue, from Howard Payne, served once again as another one of our huddle leaders. Coach Terry Bean, from Brady, helped out by coaching boys basketball. Brownwood's new Head Baseball Coach, Herb Rios, also helped coach and was the head clinician for baseball. His wife, Sonya, who is and RN also served as part of our camp medical staff. The Rios' two sons, Rawlings and Easton, attended as campers and participated in football and baseball.

We have lost many great coaches over this past year in the area, but God has definitely provided us with a special coach and friend of FCA in Herb Rios. I am extremely excited about what God is going to do through his influence, leadership, and contagious faith.
