Dear Kirk,
I wanted to write you about the game your team played against my son's team (Ransom Everglades). This season our team played several "Christian" schools in which bad sportsmanship conduct became the norm. I can not tell you how pleased I was to hear from my son that your school was different. Having gone to a Christian school (which we do not play), I had grown tired of hearing from my son that the Christian schools we were playing were full of junkies on the field. I asked my son how Calvary Christian was different and he gave me the example of when he hit the QB and the QB said "way to go #72, keep it up". I also spoke with several other Ransom players who said the same thing, that your school had the nicest kids on the field. So, way to go Coach, keep it up!! You restored my faith in how a True Christian school should behave.
Thank you,
Jo-An

True Christianity
Here's a wonderful testimony we received from an opposing team's mother. We defeated her son's team 47 - 12, and they still felt we were the "nicest kids" they played. Go CCA Eagles! Go God!

Wake up!
Last week at the CCA High School chapel, Bible teacher David Collins implored the students to wake up. "We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places." (Ephesians 6:12-13) He shared that Satan in crouching at our doorstep waiting to devour us.
So, what can we do? Mr. Collins encouraged all Christians to go on the attack. "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ." (2 Corinthians 10:4-5)
What are these weapons of our warfare? Prayer and the Word of God equip us for battle. Put on the armor of God and proclaim the name of Jesus, to whom every knee will bow and tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
My plea today is that all players, coaches, parents, and administrators prepare for the spiritual battle this week. May we unite as children of the King to pull down strongholds, cast down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. Amen.

Get in the game!
Well, another school year is upon us, and boy did God ever bless us. Pastor Bob said to expect the unexpected, but when I tell you that the ministry of athletics at Calvary Christian Academy keeps growing and reaching even higher levels of excellence, it is more than I ever dreamed, thought, or imagined.
Last year's success on the field and in the gym was record breaking including our first ever state championships. Calvary Field, our new turf field and track, is about to be completed for the first home football game on September 2. We merged with FLCS giving us access to 10 more acres of land allowing us to expand our athletic fields even further and gives us a regulation gym to play in (and all the basketball families said, Amen). Scores of new students have enrolled at CCA with many of them being quality athletes. I am overwhelmed by God's love and faithfullness.
We all have heard the verse in Luke 12:48 that says "to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more." We at CCA Athletics have been given so much. So, my challenge to myself and the rest of the families is this, "Are we ready to give back?"
Are we ready to present ourselves as living sacrifices in support of a ministry that trains up Godly men and women to impact the next generation for Christ? If you want to hear how you can "Get in the game!", come by the Calvary Grill on August 18th between 7:45a and 8:30a (after you drop the children off), and we'll tell you all about the planning, prayer, and provision that is needed to keep CCA athletics set-apart for Christ. If you can't make it, call me direct at 954-905-5167.
To God be the Glory!

JV girls basketball team displays excellence-spirtually, academically, and socially
The JV girls basketball team beat American Heritage Plantation 46-42 on Saturday. The girls came back from a 30-13 deficit and pulled out the win to improve to 10-1. CCA coach Sean Fryer expressed his appreciation and remained focused on the teams goals, "We were able to pray with them after the game and for one of the girls who hurt her ankle". The following article was posted on the Miami Herald Broward Youth Sports website...
Calvary JV hoops doing well
The Calvary Christian Academy Eagles girls’ junior varsity basketball team has one focus this season - excellence. That means excellence in all aspects of their lives, not just basketball.
At the beginning of the season, Coach Sean Fryer gave all the girls a goal sheet, and they had to write down their academic, home, social, basketball and spiritual goals for the season.
“I plan on holding each of these girls to the goals they wrote down,” Fryer said.
With an average scoring differential of 21 points per game, the Eagles (6-1) are led by freshman point guard and team captain Jessica Kreisel (14 points per game) and team co-captain Faith Nazario, a defensive specialist. Both have contributed on the JV and varsity teams.
In their JV absence, other players stepped up.
"I’m so proud of all of my girls,” Fryer said. “We try to have excellence in all we do and honor God through that. Matthew 5:16 says to ‘let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven,’ and that is what we try to do.”
