One Shoebox Can Change A Life
We recently talked with Ted, an Operation Christmas Child Full-Circle Kid, who received a shoebox from OCC as a child and is now returning the favor and giving gifts and the hope of Jesus to children through Operation Christmas Child.

True Greatness
My dear friend Glenn Martin, director of Fellowship of Christian Athletes for the State of Minnesota, shares this wonderful story which was submitted by Jake Vanada who directs FCA in the west metro area.

It's the last game of the regular season, Minnetonka Vs. Wayzata, a huge rivalry between two high profile and greatly successful teams. Wayzata is the undefeated State Champ who beat Minnetonka earlier this year. However, on this particular night, Minnetonka wins this game 3-0 in overtime.
Through the FCA huddle ministry, Wayzata has a tradition of prayer after the game lead by their students and some coaches. Working in advance with the coaching staffs at both schools, Wayzata invited the players from Minnetonka to join with the Wayzata players after the game on the field for a joint time of prayer.
It was an unbelievable moment on a cold and misty night under the lights after a very tough well-played game. Probably 30-40 players from each team took a knee and gave God the glory and thanked Him for the night and the game. One Wayzata player prayed “Lord, our brothers from across the lake beat us tonight, and as much as we hate to lose, we are happy to have been in this game with them.”
I was humbled to have the chance to also pray with the teams and to see young men sincerely bow and give God the glory.
Way to go Wayzata and Minnetonka Football. You are two classy, well coached teams!
