Celebrating FCA
Tuesday, February 28th ten members and friends of ILC had the opportunity to attend the annual fundraising event known as the "Heart & Soul" Dinner for Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) at the Sonesta Resort. The evening was filled with testimonials from FCA staff, coaches and FCA students who have been impacted by the work of FCA.
FCA started in the Lowcountry in 2011 and in ten years alone, they have impacted 34 schools, having 2000-2500 students participating each week and have had nearly 2000 commitments to Christ since they were founded in 2011.
Thank You So much for those who attended the wonderful evening.
And if you have interest in supporting FCA please contact Greg Beste or Pastor Kevin.
