FCA getting God’s word ‘into the hands of coaches and athletes’

The Fellowship of Christian Athletes distributed 196,024 Bibles in 2022 and shared Bible reading plans with thousands more.

FCA annually prints about 200,000 Bibles and has distributed nearly 3 million Bibles globally in the past 15 years, CBN News reported.

FCA prints Bible editions including testimonies from athletes and coaches.

Global focus

Shane Williamson, FCA president and CEO, told CBN the organization focuses on getting God’s word “into the hands of coaches and athletes around the world.”

In addition to printed Bibles, FCA has more than 50 Bible reading plans in several languages on the YouVersion app. More than 2 million users have subscribed to their digital Bible reading plans, FCA reports.
