SEPTEMBER 2025

It’s amazing to see God working all over the world! I recently traveled to Kyrgyzstan with a local coach and a group of volunteers from Iowa. We were blessed to help with our 1st ever basketball camp in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan along with Ali’s annual FCA Ultimate Frisbee camp. As always, God showed up in mighty ways and I’m constantly reminded how God is always moving!

Basketball camp: 

We were fortunate to have the basketball camp for 4 days consisting of 2 sessions each day. Around 40 campers (high school, college and national/pro players) attended and were taught basketball fundamentals, advanced training and had competitions. Each day, FCA staff took time throughout training to share our stories/testimonies with the campers which led to some great conversations. 

Frisbee Camp:

Our FCA frisbee camp was held at Lake Issykul again this year and saw around 50 campers attend. Camp was six days and was filled with frisbee training, US sports training, team building, competitions and most importantly the Gospel was preached, discussed in small groups and trainings. Two campers also gave their life to Christ! We can’t say thank you enough for all your prayers and support!

Posha in the US:

Posha (our FCA staffer in Kazakhstan) is currently on a reverse trip to the US for some trainings and meetings and will be at the Midwest All-Staff Advance in Iowa next week. Please take some time to reach out and welcome him and hear more about all that God is doing in Kazakhstan. 

PRAY/GIVE/GO

PRAY: Please pray for Posha and Ali and their families as they continue to share the Gospel in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. Pray also for open doors and open hearts to receive the Gospel and share it to all around them. 

GIVE: Financial support is crucial for ministry to happen every day and especially to grow. Posha and Ali need consistent funding to continue their ministry in Central Asia.  Any type of gift whether monthly, annually or even a one-time is much appreciated and helpful

GO: Our goal is to send a team over every year and maybe someday a couple trips a year to help Posha and Ali in their ministries. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if this is something that is on your heart or if you have questions. 

God bless, Kyle

Posha in Kazakhstan

Ministry is continuing to grow, and God is opening up doors in Kazakhstan. Posha and his wife attended the FCA Eurasia Team meeting in Krakow, Poland in February and traveled to Torun, Poland to meet with professional coaches and athletes to do an E3 training. Posha is continuing to use his 360 center to train athletes and coaches in their sports but most importantly to know and love Jesus. Posha is planning an FCA Family Coaching TimeOut in May for 10 families to recharge and grow in their faith. Please pray for God to continue to move in mighty ways.

Ali in Kyrgyzstan

The same goes for Ali and the amazing ways that God is using the sport of Ultimate Frisbee to share the hope of Jesus to Kyrgyzstan and beyond.   Ali and his wife, meet regularly with their club team and other area teams to train but also to build relationships and share the Gospel. They also compete in competitions and tournaments and are building a network of coaches in Ultimate Frisbee that allows him to share the Gospel with them and their families.

In July, myself and another local Illinois coach are going to Kyrgyzstan to help with our first ever Basketball camp in Bishkek, then followed by Ali’s annual Ultimate Frisbee camp. Last year around 75 kids attended his Ultimate Frisbee Camp in Kyrgyzstan and 1 young girl surrendered her life to Jesus and was baptized. Please pray for Posha and Ali and their families and for God to continue to move in ways that only He can!!
