Last June, a group of next-generation leaders participated in FCA’s Global Impact Internship. They spent a month in a global location, learning about and participating in sports ministry.

Global Impact’s purpose is for each intern to grow in their relationship with God, widen their sports ministry experience in an international setting and expand their hearts for the nations.

There were 65 interns (39 from across the U.S. and 26 from around the world) and 25 FCA staff/international leaders (and spouses) who served as Shepherds (22 from the U.S. and three internationally). Each individual participated in one of six locations around the world: South Africa, South Asia, North Europe (Wales andSweden), South Europe (Wales, Hungary, and Sweden), Southeast Asia, and Costa Rica and Brazil.

After the internship, each intern went back to their community and campus and began implementing a game plan to impact their spheres of influence both locally and globally.
