End Of Year Update:
While we celebrate and thank the Lord for stirring such generosity towards our ministry, we are praying for at least $9,000 to be given by the end of the year (next 24’ish hours) to meet our ministry goals, positioning us for a powerful year of impact in 2012. Gifts can be given online until midnight December 31st, or sent via check, postmarked by December 31st. Can you help cover this gap? We need your help to prepare for our upcoming race! Gifts can be given quickly and securely online at: www.fcaendurance.org/donate
Huddle Blips
Racine, WI:On Thanksgiving morning the Racine Huddle hosted its 3rd annual Thanksgiving Day 5K. The event had 240 runners, raised 473 pounds of food for a local food bank, and provided FCA Endurance with $500 to meet ministry expenses. We are so grateful for Toby Mueller’s and Dan Moore’s servant leadership in WI, as well as the impact that Huddle is having in their endurance community!  Omaha, NE:On December 10th, the Omaha Huddle held its 2nd annual Ironman party. Here athletes joined to watch NBC’s coverage of the Ironman World Championships. They had a great time of fellowship, enjoying the race, snacks, and prizes. Thanks to Lincoln Murdoch and Nancy Lennarson for your service in reaching out to your local endurance community! Great Falls, MT:We are excited to announce our first Huddle in Montana! Joel Auers has responded to the calling to start a Huddle, and they are off to a great start… meeting every two weeks, building a core group. Please be lifting Joel and this new Huddle up in prayer.

Uniting the Endurance Church
FCA Endurance Ministry Team Hits 3000!
FCA Endurance Ministry Team Hits 3,000! On December 21st, FCA Endurance had its 3,000th “member” (Teammates and Ministry Partners) join up. This is a wonderful milestone that we thank the Lord for! Our vision is to see the endurance world impacted for Jesus Christ through the influence of athletes and coaches, and as our ministry team of dedicated ambassadors (2 Cor. 5:20) grows, our ability to do just that increases. FCA President Les Steckel shares a vision that FCA will continue to Invade the sports world, Influence athletes and coaches through relationships, and Impact the culture and world for Jesus. FCA Endurance is living this out in the endurance community, and I’m so excited to be a part of it! May God continue to Unite and Equip the endurance Church, using us to impact our endurance community for Jesus!
Equipping the Endurance Church
Monthly Day of Fasting & Prayer
After being overwhelmingly blessed by our day of fasting and prayer on November 30th, the Prayer Team decided to hold this ‘event’ monthly. On the last Wednesday of each month, we invite everyone to join us in a day of fasting and prayer, for FCA Endurance and as the Lord leads. Details and prayer requests can be found here: http://fcaendurance.com/prayer-team Other details will be coordinated through The Body (Prayer Team Group and Ministry Calendar).
EMI Phoenix Moving to March
Due to some local scheduling conflicts, EMI Phoenix will be moving to March 23-25. Please block off these days for some powerful Uniting and Equipping! Details will be coming soon.
