OPERATION FCA: BRAZIL

FCA Georgia and Brazil are working together to collect and send needed sports equipment to our FCA Brazil teammates in September 2024. This sports equipment will be key in helping our teammates continue to build relationships with local teams and open new doors for ministry in all of Brazil. Our Brazil team has put together comprehensive lists of equipment that they need in East and West Brazil and eagerly anticipate all that God will do in providing this equipment. Join us in participating in this project by signing up to collect equipment through the link below.

Why Operation FCA?

This project will help our FCA teammates in Brazil continue to deepen existing relationships while opening doors to new relationships throughout Brazil by blessing coaches and athletes with much needed sports equipment. Our FCA Brazil team is seeking to reach every coach and athlete throughout Brazil with the Gospel. This equipment will help them to continue to create a ministry presence throughout the country and see a discipleship movement take place throughout Brazil.

"For some, this may be just equipment, but for us it will be a powerful way to express God's care, grace and love. This moment will definitely be a game changer for us.

Doors will been opened, hearts touched and lives transformed, this is our prayer and expectation in being able to bless our coaches and athletes with the equipment we will receive."

Anderson Couto - FCA Director of East Brazil

Giulia Prevedello - Brazil Director of Operations

"With sports equipment we build more than just sports projects, we build a future of opportunities and community ties. Each piece of equipment is a tool for social and life transformation, as it opens doors for us to take the gospel where we couldn't before. Together, we transform lives by the power of Jesus through sport."
