We have a challenge for you! Last February, we had ~400 people praying with us. This year, our goal is to have over 450 people praying together!
We know we can surpass our goal with your help! Can you recruit 1-2 other people to join in prayer?

As we remember and honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., join us in learning more about him + his legacy through our new 5-day devotional on the @youversion Bible app.
Here’s a snippet of Day 1 below...
“The definition of pursue means to follow after. When I think about Dr. Martin Luther King, I think of a black man that followed after pursuing love despite experiencing discrimination and racism. His ministry was the ministry of loving your enemies.
He saw people created in the image of God, and because of that, he fought for those who couldn’t fight for themselves--for all that have been oppressed in some way. Most of the sermons he preached echoed love for enemies. Not only did he preach and teach about this, but he prayed about loving his enemies.
I believe it was the prayers that sustained him and his faith in Christ that inspired him to do what he did. What I love most about Dr. King was he did it by pursuing love day in and day out. It was a daily choice. It wasn’t a quick fix. It’s still not a quick fix. This is why we remember his legacy. He did it in a nonviolent way. He not only talked about it, but he demonstrated it by walking with the people, organizing and mobilizing leaders in love that reflected all colors and nationalities. He did it in the love of Christ. This love sees color and is moved to compassion. It's moved to say, I hear you. I empathize with you. I love you. How can I help you? It’s not quick to judge or assume. It leans in, with love, and communicates, ‘I know we are different in our skin color, gender, even in our faith, but where can we meet in the middle?’ “

Have you heard? This year’s FCA ministry theme is PURSUE! Very coach + every athlete is pursuing something: earning a scholarship, winning a championship, or landing a contract. As the stakes rise, the drive behind that pursuit intensifies. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but what if pursuing those things ultimately isn’t healthy or good for us in the long run? Join us this year as we dive into pursuing the things of God. #FCAPursue #midatlanticfca

We have the honor to pray for our FCA International teammates every day. But we want to set aside a special 24 hour period next week to pray for them & our partnership.
“Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be consistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.”

When you make a decision to follow Jesus, you are beginning the journey of a lifetime—a discipleship journey. This journey is a lifelong pursuit of becoming a fully devoted follower of Christ, or what we call, a disciple.
A disciple is someone who is in a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church. The CORE gives you eight essentials on how to do just that. The CORE will help you be engaged in God’s Word, equipped on the basics of the faith, and empowered to help others grow in Jesus Christ. When you strengthen your CORE everything else benefits.
