God is doing some amazing things this summer!

Students before they left for Sports Camp at Texas A&M in College Station!


We have sent our last group of students to our last summer camp of 2009, at Texas A&M for the All Sports camp! God has done some amazing things at these camps over the summer and we can't wait to see what else He has in store for those students in their upcoming school year.

Here are a few student testimonials from the Abilene Leadership Camp:

"This was the first time in 5 or 6 years anyone from our high school had been to a camp; so I didn't really know what to expect. I even thought about not coming because I was scared of what "could" happen. Now, after is is all said and done, I would have not missed this camp for the world. There was an immediate comfort level with my huddle leader and huddle that made opening up and truly fixing some problems very easy. It was obvious God was working very strongly in this camp because every message and every huddle time had so much for me to learn from. I didn't realize it at the time, but even in my free time activities I was being taught be the Lord. Definitely one of the best experiences of my life and I will, Lord willing, be returning next year." Junior, Garland High School

"I have a whole new outlook on God and His word now. I loved hearing from Garret [the camp speaker] and hearing the music. All the activities and free time was great I can't wait to go back and change my campus." 7th Grade, Clark Middle School

"Camp allowed me to make new friends that are in the same position as me struggling with the outside world. It surrounded me with people who could help me. The huddle leaders were awesome. I'm coming back next year." Junior, Plano West Senior High School

Can you believe it is already the middle of June? The summer is already flying by, and we have already had 2 camps come and go!

Our first camp was our Leadership & Golf Camp at Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, from June 8 - June 12. We had 36 students attend the Leadership & Golf Camp! It was a great week for all involved. The leadership camp focused on training in the fundamentals of leading FCA huddles, building confidence in students' leadership skills, and teaching practical skills for personal Christian growth. Below are some pictures of the students before leaving for camp! If you have any personal testimonies from the camp please email us at fcadallas@gmail.com, we would love to hear how the week impacted you!

During the same week as the Abilene we had the Dallas ISD/FCA Middle School Football Camp, a great partnership event that has now completed it's 2nd year. This allows middle school students a chance to work with coaches on improving their football skills. It was a great time for all involved, even though it was hot (can't escape that in Texas) it was a good 2 days!!!

Be sure to check out http://dallasfca.shutterfly.com/ for more pictures of these 2 camps, and check out more of our past events!
