OUTDOORS
Ed Stratton
Northeast Outdoors Director
“Sports is a passion shared by many. To bring sports and ministry together through the FCA platform gives us a foot in the door to share the message of Jesus and the cross where – in most cases – churches are not allowed. This is working and that is exciting!” says Stratton. “Serving in ministry is my passion and introducing people to Jesus using the platform of sports is a double blessing.”
FCA Outdoors
FCA Outdoors has launched a new Mountain Bike ministry in the Rochester NY area. Our kick off was Saturday, May 13th where 12 cyclist met in Victor NY and rode the GROC at Dryer Road Park. It was a great kick off to the FCA Outdoors outreach into the MTB community. Ty Allen the FCA Outdoors Board Chair shared the vision for FCA MTB ministry along with scripture from Rev 3:14. This first gathering consisted of mainly strong Christian believers excited about using their passion for MTB as a means to share Jesus with others in the MTB community. There is a weekly ride planned at this location with plans to travel to other areas and wherever the Lord leads.

FCA Motocross
FCA Motocoss has launched a new ministry outreach working with Off-Road dirt bike racers through the NYOA racing association. NYOA holds races in NY and PA every weekend throughout the summer. They have officially certified FCA Motocross as an official organizatiuon for their events. This allows us direct access to every race to the vender row and promotes FCA Motocross as a ministry outreach to the Moto community. These are weekend events and allows us to host a chaple sevice (Dirt Church!) every Saturday night. Last week May 7th FCA staff, Jamie Ellerson shared a message with about 30 people who came out to hear God’s Word (photo attached). This is a great ministry opportunity within our moto community who miss any opportunity to attend church with being on the road every weekend at racing events. FCA Motocross will be set up at the Berkshire race on 05/21, Greek Peak Cortland NY 07/23, Moravia NY 09/23, Harpursville NY 05/17, Newark Valley NY 10/01.
Contact Ed Stratton, if you have or anyone you know has an interest in connecting with us at any of these events!
