Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come. 1 Timothy 4:7-8 (NIV)
FCA Endurance desires to Unite and Equip Christian Endurance athletes to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and share that faith with others. We are burdened to do this as a way of achieving FCA's Vision to see the world impacted for Jesus Christ through the influence of athletes and coaches. As the Lord continues to bring athletes onto this Team, we feel that we must be faithful stewards and equip these same athletes to effectively share Jesus through endurance sports!
As a way of achieving this ambition, our Strategic Plan outlines the creation of the Endurance Ministry Institute (EMI). EMI will become FCA Endurance's vehicle to equip our Team for field ministry through online resources and local conferences. We are just getting rolling with EMI, but check out the links below for current resources and training opportunities. There are also Equipping sub-links on the menu to the left.
FCA Endurance’s first Ministry Training Conference was a huge blessing! SC Teammate Deb Hunter had this to share after the event, “Just have to tell you that the time I spent this last weekend at the Retreat was the best investment!!! I hope to remember and USE the strategic evangelism tools that I learned every time I get the opportunity..."
On October 9 and 10, a number of Teammates gathered in Phoenix, AZ to get equipped to share their faith through endurance sports. Said one participant, “Exactly what I needed… Fantastic. Delivery and content were terrific.”

Equipping Round 3
One participant wrote about the Racine EMI Presenters Conference (November 20-21), “This seminar put it all together in basic terms. Very useful and helpful in terms of sharing the Gospel with athletes or anyone. Thank you!” Another said it was “great to really begin to voice this out loud.” Still another said he “got a lot out of the witnessing style test…it will change the way I approach evangelism!”
