They have seen the impact and influence FCA has on coaches and athletes. They saw it in her dad and sister. They see it now in their own sons who are part of the FCA huddle at St. Croix Preparatory Academy in Stillwater, Minnesota.
As soon as she found out there was a huddle at St. Croix Prep she offered their support to the huddle coaches. Paul and Medora are now affectionately known as “The Food Fairies” because they regularly provide the snacks at huddle meetings. Initially motivated by their personal observation of the impact of FCA, they continue to support this huddle because of the impact they see firsthand in the lives of students—their sons and their teammates.
Paul and Medora have witnessed the entire huddle growing together in Christian community, learning to pray together, and taking opportunities to share their faith with others. The huddle coaches and student leaders like their son, Barrett, model what it looks like to be an active Christ-follower, and it is changing lives at their school. Medora says, “Many of the kids who are going to the FCA huddle aren’t necessarily the ones who are going to church on Sundays. They are hearing the message of Jesus through another avenue – the avenue of FCA.”
