The Fellowship of Christian Athletes dramatically increased Bible distribution in 2025, reaching over 244,000 individuals globally.



The Fellowship of Christian (FCA) announced that it distributed more than 244,000 Bibles in 2025, a substantial increase from last year.

FCA, a Christian youth organization, distributed 244,650 Bibles at various events and meetings across the United States and 68 other countries through its chapters. The celebration also makes a significant increase from 2024, in which the FCA distributed 219,000 Bibles

“Some of the primary spaces where FCA distributed Bibles are through Huddles, camps or outreach events such as Fields of Faith,” an FCA spokesperson told The Christian Post.

“FCA ministry happens on campuses ranging from elementary schools to colleges, in pro and elite sports spaces, off-campus leagues and clubs, and in sports environments spanning traditional sports to outdoors, action sports, motorsports and all-ability.”

FCA's evangelism effort through their staff and volunteers, who “make an impact in their communities and various sports environments daily,” was also a contributing factor, the spokesperson added.

“They are always ready to put a Bible into the hands of coaches and athletes when the opportunity arises,” FCA told CP. “The Bibles are intended to serve as the foundation for long-term discipleship, ensuring ongoing engagement rather than a one-time interaction.”

Overall, the FCA hopes that the widespread distribution of Bibles will “deepen the faith and spiritual growth of coaches and athletes, helping them develop a stronger relationship with Jesus Christ and live out biblical values.”

The spokesperson stressed the importance of the organization’s “E3 Strategy,” which is based on the concepts of “Engage,” “Equip,” and “Empower.”

“FCA's overachieving aim is to reach coaches and athletes with the Gospel, help them grow spiritually and then enable them to help others do the same,” stated the spokesperson.

“We believe this spiritual foundation extends beyond sports, positively influencing teammates, schools, families and entire communities. By providing Scripture in multiple languages, FCA aims to make the Gospel accessible and culturally relevant worldwide.”
