Staff Growth Fund
Luke 10:2 says, "The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields."
Since 1954, FCA staff have been launched into full-time ministry around the world. FCA Staff are self-supported missionaries who raise funds to answer God's calling on their life. In order to diversify our staff to reach different cultures, ethnicities and genders, we created a "Staff Growth Fund" to provide a financial on-ramp for new staff. Your investment in the Eastern Crescent Growth Fund helps us recruit and hire staff and stay local. Please give today or contact Jon Rector at Jrector@fca.org

What is Fields of Faith?
Fields of Faith is a certified ministry program where athletes gather in sports environments within their communities to challenge their peers to read the Bible daily and grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ and His Church.
The program was inspired by the biblical story of King Josiah, who led his people to follow God's Word and transform their culture. Since its inception in 2004, Fields of Faith has grown to reach hundreds of thousands of people, with many making decisions for Christ.
