THE CENTRAL PA ENDURANCE HUDDLE, a community ministry of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, is a group of competitive AND recreational runners, cyclists, triathletes, etc... in ALL ranges of abilities. We are located in and around the Central PA area and our purpose is to go out and share the message of Jesus Christ with other endurance athletes.
We are not a running or cycling club, but rather a group of Christians that share a passion for endurance activities and want to share the Good News with others in the endurance community.
There are so many lost sheep out there and while it would be great to minister to everyone, FCA Endurance provides a way to minister to a particular group that shares the same interests as the members of this huddle. Imagine... wouldn't it great if the endurance athletes that we reach out to go back to their other friends and families. In that instance, we will be affecting others as well!!!
In addition to meeting and fellowshipping with each other, training together, and training with others, the members of the huddle will attend races wearing the colors; either competing or volunteering.
We would love to meet you and pray that you would become part of the huddle and FCA Endurance. More importantly, we pray that your relationship with God and His Son, Jesus Christ, becomes greater in your life and that you have an opportunity to share it with others.
Please continue to visit the blog for general updates about the huddle, meeting schedules, training runs/rides, and where the huddle members might be racing or volunteering.
I pray that others will become a member and help impact the world for Jesus Christ!

Information for April 18th Huddle Meeting
Hi all! I hope you all had a great weekend and got some great workouts in (as well as some needed rest).I rec'd some responses from some of you that you might be able to make the meeting on the 18th. Hope others can come. Also, if you think of others that might be interested, please bring them along. I will send out some more information on what we'll be talking about once I come up with a firm time/place, but in the meantime, I wanted to pass onto everyone something that I wanted to get started with.In addition to talking about huddle "business" - i.e. what's happening, our plans, races, etc... the other things that I think that huddle should be involved with is fellowship with each other by perhaps having some sort of bible study, discussion, things of that nature. On the 18th, I would like to start up an exercise on the Competitor's Creed; to discuss each line and what it means to each of us. Other huddles around the country (both FCA Endurance and FCA in general) have used this and found it to be a great success. Later this week, I will send out some more info.Talk to you all later! For His Glory!Paul

Super Sunday
Aren't all Sundays super??? :-)
I sent an email to the organizer for the Capital 10 miler race in April. This is the 1st race that we're looking toward being a part of this race season. I will let everyone know how I make out.
If things work out for this race, I will be mentioning it on the interview with WJTL on March 29.
I hope everyone's training is going well! Spring is just around the corner.
As a reminder, if anyone new is visiting the blog, our huddle is not for just the experienced runner, cyclist, etc... If you're just starting out OR if you don't know where to start, but want to be part of the endurance world AND you have a passion for Jesus, please consider joining our huddle. We would love to have you aboard and we will certainly help you wherever we can.
Talk to everyone soon!
In Christ,
Paul

HUDDLE UPDATE
We had a GREAT meeting this past Monday. All of the teammates were there and had some great ideas! Here are some of the highlights:
- We decided to have a huddle meeting the 3rd Monday of every month. I added an area to the left of this blog that will have the huddle's events. It will contain the upcoming huddle meetings as well as any races that the team will make a presence at (either through racing and/or having a tent set up).
- We're going to come up with a PRELIMINARY list of races/events that we'll be a part of.
- I mentioned before that I will be on WJTL - a Christian radio station out of Lancaster on March 29, 2011. One of the things that I would like to mention on air is an upcoming event for the huddle. We talked about the innauguaral Capital 10 Miler in Harrisburg.

Any New Visitors?
If anyone is just visiting... WELCOME!
Why are we here in Central PA? To bringing the Good News!!!
God has provided us with our very own FCA Endurance Huddle for Central PA and surrounding areas!
For those of you who are not familiar with FCA-E, it is the Fellowship of Christian Athletes for adult endurance athletes. It is a Christian ministry for anyone interested in running, cycling, swimming (triathlon) and other endurance sports.
It gives you an opportunity to combine two things that you love, Your Passion for God and your love for Endurance sports!
Why Do You Race?
FELLOWSHIP!
We will have a monthly meeting to discuss God and His word,volunteer opportunities, races, training, bible study, or just whatever comes up.

There will be opportunities to volunteer at area races and events, however, if you don't feel led to do any volunteer work, you do not have to. It is never required! God's fellowship is free!
We will be volunteering so we can be out on the course, helping others, and witnessing to them about Gods love, His word, and all that He has to offer them. There will also be pre-race prayers at events.
FUN!
We will be doing group rides together, for all levels of endurance, from the slowest, to the fastest, we will be doing group runs together, again, for all levels of endurance.
All you need to do is go to the FCA-E web page, and sign the The Competitor’s Creed , That states you are a Christian first and last, a competitor for Christ! Here's the sign up page: http://fcaendurance.com/sign-up.

HAPPY NEW YEAR - NO FEARS
It's been awhile since I made a post to the blog. Sorry about that. I will ensure I keep this up-to-date.
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season. I'm really looking forward to some great things in 2011 for the huddle.
For those that are visiting - WELCOME! I hope you continue to come back to this blog AND please visit our new Facebook page (FCA Endurance - Central PA). Thanks again teammate Jamie for creating the page.
If you have ANY questions, please join the Facebook group OR send an email to me at paulandheidis@comcast.net.
This will be our first season as a certified huddle, so we have a lot of planning to do for the coming season. We'll determine which races we'll make a presence at (competing and/or setting up a tent). We want to start a weekly run/ride where others can join us. We'll set meeting dates. Things of that nature. God truly has some great plans for us and I know that we're up for the challenge!
As we embark on the new year and the challenges before us, Isaiah 41:10 comes to mind. 'So don't worry, because I am with you. Don't be afraid, because I am your God. I will make you strong and will help you; I will support you with my right hand that saves you.'
Please continue to stop by! God bless you!
In Christ,
Paul
