Move of God at Simpson University
Earlier this Summer, Simpson University President Norm Hall reached out to FCA Field Ambassador Norm Slosted and ordered FCA Sports Bibles for every student athlete and coach. Five hundred and seventy-six (576) Bibles arrived on campus and were first gifted to the early-arrival, Fall sports athletes.
Athletic Director Rob Harley shared how the Bibles were used during small-group breakouts. "To me", commented Director Harley, "one of the best parts of the groups were that they were student-led, many of whom were student-athletes." He expressed a raised level of expectation that God is moving amongst student-athletes.
Director Harley's expectations were later further evidenced when sixteen (16) student-athletes chose to be baptized the evening before the start of New Student Orientation. Plans were made for four (4) students to be baptized, but twelve (12) additional athletes decided on the spot to also make a public declaration of their faith in Jesus Christ.
In week one of the semester, Student Leaders launched the first weekly FCA Huddle Meeting in the Student Union to over ninety (90) students. The "rock-paper scissors" ice-breaker generated incredible energy and excitement. Huddle Advisor, Cross-Country, and Track & Field Head Coach Jonathan Hall gave an introduction to FCA's Vision and Mission and shared brief thoughts from God's Word. The evening closed in breakout groups praying together for the new school year.
FCA is so grateful that Simpson University has stood firm in their commitment to providing a Christ-infused higher education experience for students and their families. In response to their steadfast commitment, the leadership is seeing God faithfully move on campus, and FCA is privileged to bless and come alongside what God is doing.
