“For while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.” – 1 Timothy 4:8
I grew up playing team sports, such as Basketball and Football, while growing up in California. I understand how much influence sports can have on a person and experienced the importance of a coach in an athletes life. FCA’s vision of seeing the world transformed by Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes captivated my heart and I am blessed to be a part of seeing this vision being fulfilled through the ministry of FCA.
My wife, Miyuki, and I currently live in Seoul, South Korea and we have started our ministry together in serving the Youth, Coaches, and Athletes in the greater Seoul Area. We are blessed to be a part of this wonderful journey to seeing this nation be transformed through the gospel and sports.
As a person who has served the next generation as a youth pastor for the past three and half years, I understand how much of an obstacle sports and academics can be to faith, especially here in South Korea. However, through the ministry of FCA, it is wonderful that sports can be a tool not only to reach out to the lost souls, but to equip and to increase the faith of coaches and athletes in all different levels.
Thank you for your support which enables me to be able to go and make disciples of Jesus Christ through the platform of sports. I pray that through our efforts together, many will be able to turn to Christ through the spreading of the gospel and that the coaches and athletes will be able to use their influence positively for the Kingdom of God. Please keep praying for FCA Korea as well as my family as we continue to serve God together. Thank you again for your faithfulness and for your partnership. God bless you.
In Christ,
Dae Choo
