Why FCA Wrestling?

“FCA is the vehicle that God used to change my life in college. It is where I truly started to follow Jesus. Years later after being around FCA as a volunteer, Rusty Parks (Area Rep-Kentucky) got me involved with being a character coach for some wrestling teams and helping take young wrestlers to FCAW camp each summer. After seeing the almost unexplainable dynamic of introducing these young wrestlers and coaches to Jesus, I was hooked! I can’t believe I get to wake up and be a part of this every day.”
