FORE!!!!!!

Look out Big Country! It's time for you to put together your team of 4 at our annual Big Country FCA Golf Scramble!

All donations will go towards FCA staff operations and scholarships for **high school and college students/athletes** in the Big Country to attend one of the many camp experiences we host throughout the year. (Leadership Camp, Boys Weekend of Champions, and Girls Weekend of Champions). Camp is an extremely powerful time in the life of many of our athletes. It's a time where they gather with friends and other peers and are led into a deeper relationship with Jesus, many for the first time!

We also have an opportunity to send **coaches and their families** to Coaches Camp in New Mexico. This is a huge blessing for coaches during their summer season that they get to be poured into and spend time connecting with their family and other coaches.

Cost per team of 4:
-$700/team
-$1000/corporate team (includes 2 small signs on course)

>>Payment can be made:
-by check in the mail (PO Box 6605, Abilene, TX 79608)
-at the registration table on MARCH 27TH

It’s amazing to look back on a year like 2025 and feel nothing but gratitude to a Creator who loves us for who HE created us to be. Jesus changed a lot of lives this year and we can’t wait to celebrate what He’ll do in 2026!

Getting new gear is an exciting factor in playing sports. Professionally, if you are doing well, you might even get sponsored by a big-name brand like Nike or Adidas. There is nothing wrong with getting excited about a new pair of cleats or the gear your team gets. We run into trouble when we allow the gear to determine our status and the status of those around us. It’s easy to gravitate toward wealth; we all struggle with it. We should watch how this desire for wealth affects how we treat others.

In the book of James, we see that it’s easy to fall into favoritism when it comes to earthly wealth. You might try to befriend someone with the latest and greatest gear because, in your mind, you have determined that they are worth more than someone who doesn’t. Then we see someone who needs nice gear, clothes or wealth as less important. This is wrong because nothing about external wealth is a marker of internal character. When we do this, we become false judges, which causes nothing but trouble for us. God is the only true judge; we can not do the job meant for God, nor should we try.

Today, see if you can look past external factors and see people for who they are despite what the world says they are worth.

 “My brothers and sisters, do not show favoritism as you hold on to the faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ. For if someone comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and a poor person dressed in filthy clothes also comes in, if you look with favor on the one wearing the fine clothes and say, ‘Sit here in a good place,’ and yet you say to the poor person, ‘Stand over there,’ or ‘Sit here on the floor by my footstool,’ haven’t you made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?” – James 2:1-4

This next generation of athletes is on FIRE for Jesus! 🔥

“He also raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavens in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might display the immeasurable riches of his grace through his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭

FIELDS OF FAITH 2025
20 years is a long time to do something. And last night, we stood on the foundation of countless souls and lives that have been transformed by the spirit through the power of Jesus Christ for 2 decades!

The stories that will come out of this year’s Fields of Faith are not single testimonies. They are going to impact generation after generation because of a simple YES to Jesus!

An ARMY stood together for Christ last night. Satan messed up thinking he had this generation. He wasn’t expecting this army to RISE AS ONE and fight back!

“Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to the winds, son of man. Speak a prophetic message and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, O breath, from the four winds! Breathe into these dead bodies so they may live again.’”

So I spoke the message as he commanded me, and breath came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their feet—a great army.”
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭37‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭NLT‬‬
