Fellowship of Christian Athletes is grateful to announce a powerful partnership with Second Chance with Saving Grace
May 26, 2009 – SCwSG is a non-profit 501c(3) organization that reaches out to hurting people and animals wherever they may be found. SCwSG impacts the world by focusing on serving others, equipping, empowering and encouraging everyone to be all God created them to be. They visit schools, churches, children’s hospitals, prisoners, civic organizations, wherever they are invited, delivering an inspiring message of Hope with Love Kits of Encouragement!
Diane Dike, Ph.D., the founder of SCwSG and the co-founder of the Spiritual Tsunami, has teamed up with FCA to travel the Nation to challenge and motivate our “Huddles.” All age groups connect with Diane who knows what it is to be broken, homeless and hopeless. She was an elite athlete and coach but in her twenties, Diane was diagnosed with a painful, debilitating and incurable blood disease. She was devastated and lost all that was important to her, including her athletic abilities. Thinking she was better off dead than disabled she contemplated suicide. However, in the midst of her despair, Diane received the transforming love of Jesus. Through this experience she learned the secret to happiness and that God still has a purpose and plan for her life even if her body is broken.
She is an expert in perseverance and overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The disease turned into a gift that allows her to captivate the corporate executive, the athlete, the coach, the prisoner… she is Satan’s worst nightmare because she will not give up! She challenges us all to realize with God nothing is impossible because he’s given us the tools to meet life’s challenges and be the winner He created us to be no matter what! She’s experienced terrible tragedy yet she prevails with her husband, God’s love and her adorable rescued Italian Greyhound Service Dog, Gracie.
We appreciate Diane’s desire to partner with our efforts to spread the love of Jesus and minister at our events across this great Nation. Please visit her web site: www.DianeDike.org to learn more about her inspiring ministry and influential books including, The Adventures of Gracie and Diane, series and God Made Only One of Me (foreword by Michael W. Smith). We know you will fall in love with her and Gracie, just like we did. To schedule them for your next event please contact,DianeDike@aol.com
As Diane always says, “Stay Strong and Courageous!”
Your FCA & SCwSG Team
