Realtime 2024

FCA staff from all over the world gathered in Orlando, FL for 4 days of fellowship, worship, learning, and celebrating all that God has done! Around 3,000 staff and spouses attended, and 25 of us came from Michigan.

Some of the highlights included incredible worship led by the band Cain and Life Church band, inspirational Bible teaching by Dr. Tony Evans, and powerful testimonies from NBA player Jonathan Isaac, Coach Joe Kennedy, Tony Dungy, fellow FCA staff member Grace Lyons Turk, and more. We are grateful we were able to be a part of this great event, and we all came home refreshed and reenergized!
