Area Ambassador

I am a local youth pastor as well as an Eastern New Mexico field Ambassador for FCA. Our focus for ENM FCA, is coaches and athletes at the middle school, high school, and collegiate level. Our mission is “to lead every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and His church.” We do this by engaging, equipping, and empowering these coaches and athletes, to know and grow in Christ, and lead others to do the same. Learn more how we do that at https://www.fca.org/e3 

If you desire to see FCA’s vision fulfilled in Eastern New Mexico, “to see the world transformed by Jesus Christ through the influence of coaches and athletes,” then I invite you to partner with us through an eternal investment that goes directly towards ENM FCA. Staffing, as well as all ministry activity, and all resourcing is 100% locally funded and faith-financed, and every charitable gift is tax-deductible. Thank you for prayerfully considering a donation to this strategic and vital ministry that God has used to impact my own life and is using to touch millions of lives one heart at a time.

Tim Ebert

Ruidoso, NM

Prospective Staff

Area Representative

Tebert@fca.org

My name is Tim Ebert and I’m excited to be part of God's Great Commission plan here in Ruidoso, New Mexico. My vision is to serve God to the best of my abilities and work hard to see FCA become an integral part of this local area, yet soon to the surrounding areas as well. I know God is on the move. He is opening doors every day to see this vision become a reality in New Mexico.

My hope and prayers are that you will pray for this to become an amazing revival in the local church. I pray for an awakening in our community through God's word in the hearts of students everywhere. Want to join me in the good fight for the good of the gospel to and through coaches and leader athletes?
