God continues to show His faithfulness by opening incredible doors for FCFI to minister to thousands of young people through FFA state conventions across the United States. Each opportunity is a reminder of His perfect timing and His desire to reach the next generation with the truth of the Gospel.

The month of March marked the beginning of this year’s FFA convention season. The first event took place in the beautiful state of Utah, held at the basketball arena at Utah State University in Logan. It was an exciting start, filled with anticipation for how God would move among the students attending.

Together, my wife Julie and I had the privilege of serving at this convention. Over the course of two days, we connected with hundreds of youth, engaging in meaningful conversations and sharing encouragement. Many students stopped by our booth, where we distributed salvation bracelets, operator manuals, and small treats as a way to open doors for deeper conversations.

One particular interaction stood out. A young girl approached our booth and shared that she had experienced hurt and disappointment from a previous religious background. With care and compassion, we explained that it is not religion that saves or fulfills, but rather an intimate, personal relationship with God the Father through Jesus Christ, His Son. She listened attentively, asking thoughtful questions and showing genuine interest in what was being shared.

It was clear that God was at work in her heart. While we may not see the full outcome right away, we trust that the seeds planted will continue to grow as she seeks truth and understanding.

Moments like these are why FCFI remains committed to showing up, being available, and faithfully sharing the message of hope. As the FFA convention season continues, we look forward with expectation, knowing that God will continue to touch lives and draw young people closer to Him.
