Ryan Sears Is the New FCA Omaha Metro Director

Thankful to be a part of the team

- Ryan Sears

2020 has disrupted plans and brought unexpected changes. In the midst of the 2020 chaos, I have moved into the Omaha Metro Director role for Omaha FCA, replacing Brian Conklin.

The plan was for Brian and I to work together for a few more decades, trying to build a team to better serve coaches and help them lead their athletes to Christ. The Lord had a different plan. The Omaha FCA team and I are trusting Him as I move into this new role in the midst of the unprecedented challenges of these days.

We often, if not always, stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us, whether it be our families, our teams, our mentors, or within organizations like FCA. I will be standing on the shoulders of men and women who have labored in this city and state for over 40 years. What an honor to take the baton from these faithful people and carry on the best we can and by the grace of God.

And what an honor to serve, not only benefitting from the FCA team of the past, but also serving alongside the FCA team of the present. There are already so many people in place in our city, who have been serving with Omaha FCA, and many longer than I have. Staff, huddle leaders, board members, donors, coaches, athletes. A GREAT team has already been mobilized and I’m honored to continue to be a part of it in the new role of Omaha Metro Director.

Please pray for Omaha FCA and consider how the Lord would lead you to continue or begin to partner with us to help coaches lead their athletes to Christ in 2021 and beyond!! LET’s GO!!!!

Back to Basics: Relationship

By Ryan Sears • January 28, 2021

“One coach will influence more people in a year than most do in a lifetime.” As we think about discipleship, you cannot overestimate the power of relationships over time. Coaches, because of the amount of time together, have a unique opportunity to develop significant relationships with their athletes that often remain even when their eligibility has ended. Because of the general breakdown of the family and God being disinvited from the conversation in our culture, youth today are faced with increasingly difficult challenges. Standing on the front lines to impact many of these youth, are coaches, who have the opportunity that few others have to develop relationships and to speak truth into their lives. We are so grateful for the many coaches who are wanting to make an impact on as many youth as they can and for the FCA volunteers who want to come alongside and help them do it! Would you continue to pray and partner with us to help coaches lead their athletes to Christ?
