As a gospel-centered ministry for almost 70 years, FCA has been challenging coaches and athletes on the professional, college, high school, junior high and youth levels to use the powerful platform of sport to reach every coach and every athlete with the transforming power of Jesus Christ. A local goal of the FCA ministry is to have a mobilized volunteer on every high school and college campus in Northeast Wisconsin counties. Through the ministry of FCA Huddles (school/team/coach gatherings), they empower coaches, volunteers and athletes while developing lasting disciples of Jesus Christ who are transformed by a growing relationship with him.

Jake’s Network of Hope envisions a world where every individual feels worthy. Jake’s is a diaper bank that serves 11+ counties in Northeastern Wisconsin.

In 2011, the founders were part of a women’s mission trip to a shantytown in Peru called Pachacutec. One day they visited a child care facility and what they saw that day would change the trajectory of their lives. They witnessed caregivers who cared for 15 babies and loved them very much. Unfortunately, they were forced to reuse disposable diapers because they had no other option. They had to make the difficult decision – food, water, shelter, or diapers. Shortly after, one of the founder’s first son was born, named Jake. Jake’s parents used modern cloth diapers on him and decided to collect the cloth diapers he outgrew for those 15 babies and Jake’s Diapers was born. Originally, Jake’s Diapers was created to help those 15 babies in Peru. Today, they’ve impacted over 63,000 lives in over 60 countries including their own Wisconsin backyard. In 2020, Jake’s saw explosive growth into various core hygiene programs including period products and adult incontinence products. Their work allows every person a step up toward living healthy, feeling safe and experiencing self-worth so that individuals and communities thrive.
