Through weekly FCA gatherings, team Bible studies, one-on-one discipleship, leadership development, camps, and other ministry opportunities, we help student-athletes and coaches discover how the Gospel transforms every area of their lives.

Global Neighbors

Adam and Krista | Waha

Adam and Krista have lived and worked with the Waha People since 2017. They have four children. Our area is home to the largest concentration of Arab Muslims outside the Middle East and many other Unreached People Groups from around the world. Our team exists to connect Muslims to Jesus and train and equip local churches to reach Muslims around them. Adam is the current team leader and enjoys sitting on the floor and drinking tea with friends from the community. Krista graduated with a nursing degree. She now works as a nurse and part-time with our team. Krista tangibly blesses our community in many ways, keeps our household running smoothly, and is gifted in relational ministry. Our family loves having people in our home, getting to know their stories, and sharing good food together!

Nations


Kerry Pickard

Kerry’s ministry is centered on sharing God’s grace through everyday relationships. She serves as a link between Global Partners Europe and local Russian-speaking leaders, and spends much of her time discipling people of all ages, from 13 to 90, over a cup of coffee. To build bridges in her community, she teaches low-cost conversational English classes to reach students and youth, and in the summer, helps run a garden to bless local single moms and elderly neighbors with fresh produce.

AsOne | Uganda

AsOne believes that poverty alleviation efforts must shift from enabling dependency through charity and aid, to empowering local people to lead and drive change in their own community’s development. With this in mind AsOne uses donations to build self-sustaining communities with a quality school, health center, and economic opportunities for families. This investment builds long-term programs, empowers local leaders, and solves major challenges affecting rural Uganda.

World Hope International

World Hope International's mission is simple: to make a positive impact on 1 million and 1 at-risk children and families around the world. Partners, governments and vulnerable communities around the world depend on WHI every day because our sustainable, measurable and innovative changes save and improve lives. Today, we identify the unmet needs of the most vulnerable, with a focus on children in crisis and their families, leveraging individual God-given strengths as we strive for excellence.

Kethra

Kethra is an unreached Muslim nation where less than 1% of the population knows the name of Jesus Christ. We refer to this work as the Kethra field for security purposes and the protection of those we support there. The Kethra team's initial hopes for the first couple of years is to learn language, adapt to culture and develop a sense of life/team rhythm in a new country. They will focus on intentional and personal relationships with locals, and praying for opportunities to share Truth when prompted. Their overall prayer is for the people of Kethra to be transformed by a personal encounter with the living God, becoming Spirit-filled, obedient leaders and disciple-makers. United in the prayer, the Kethra team trusts God to bring forth living water among the beloved people of this country.
