NE FLORIDA FCA STUDENTS ATHLETES HEAD TO ISRAEL

Milena Ruiz • March 1, 2023

In late December, Northeast Florida FCA student athletes Hayley Friedl and Olivia O’Leary, from Jacksonville University, joined 20 other athletes from around the country on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Israel. During their trip, Hayley and Olivia had the opportunity to tour the city of Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, and the Jordan River, as well as many other parts of Israel. Bible stories came to life as the two walked the streets of Jerusalem and stood in some of the same places where Jesus performed miracles.


Both Hayley and Olivia returned refreshed and strengthened in their faith! As the two continue to lead the JU campus huddle, this trip will forever be imprinted in their hearts and will bring others closer to Jesus Christ through their testimonies.


JAX Collegiate FCA is excited to send student athletes to Israel each year in hopes that more students will continue to develop their love for the nations and gain insight on the importance of missions.

Coaches Family Camp 2025

July 3, 2025
Check out FCA Florida's first year of Coaches Family Camp! From newborns to grandparents in their 80s, God brought generations together for four days of worship, rest, and growth as GLORY was unpacked and applied to the lives of all in attendance—“From my glory to His glory.” Just like Psalm 145:4 says:"One generation will commend Your works to another; they will tell of Your mighty acts." We watched a GLORY shift—stories shared, the Bible taught, faith strengthened—a building a legacy of Christ-centered leadership planted across every age and stage that honors Him above all. Thank you to every family who made this inaugural year unforgettable. This is just the beginning. God’s glory is shining through every generation, and we can’t wait to see what He does next!
