Jeff Fitzgerald

NELA Area Director

Hi, my name is Jeff Fitzgerald. God used the 2020 pandemic to transform my life for Jesus. He revealed that my identity was not in coaching. I am a follower of Jesus Christ that happens to coach. Years ago, at an extremely low point in my life as a college athlete, God used FCA to bring me into a closer relationship with Him.  I am fired up to tell coaches and athletes about the one thing that will never let them down. At some point, coaching or athletics will let us down. But God.....will never let us down. Praise Jesus he has allowed me to witness life transformation take place in numerous coaches and athletes! I I am currently serving as the Northeast Louisiana Area Director for FCA. I absolutely love getting to serve with the amazing team that God has assembled in our area and across the state! I am excited to walk this journey out with our coaches and athletes. 

Lydia Walker

ULM / NELA Area Representative

My name is Lydia Walker, and I feel so very blessed to be called into the ministry that is FCA!  I am so thankful for the ways that the Lord has moved in my own life, and it is such an honor to be able to witness how He is working in the lives of students, coaches, and athletes through this ministry. My constant prayer is that I will be able to continuously show athletes and coaches in Northeast Louisiana who Jesus truly is and how much He truly loves them. My prayer is that through impacting the lives of the coaches and athletes of this region through the powerful truth of the gospel, life change will be noticed by ALL people.  These prayers are big prayers, and I ask that you would join alongside me in praying over this ministry!

Buster Duplissey

NELA Area Representative

Hello, my name is Bryan “Buster” Duplissey. In 2013 an FCA Coach’s Bible was put into my hands and my life has never been the same. I gave my heart to Christ in 1991 but I never had a true relationship with Jesus until that Bible. That is the day I started reading the word which led me to live the word. I have had a passion for FCA since that time. I recently retired from coaching after thirty years and I am fired up to give this ministry my ALL. I do not look at this as a chance to minister since I retired but rather, I am convinced God made me a Coach to prepare me to work for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.  I am excited to have the opportunity to travel throughout our area and share the word of God with Coaches and Athletes. I cannot think of a thing better than this. I have witnessed what will happen when coaches and athletes put God first in their lives and how that passion will spread throughout a community and school. I am currently an Area Representative of Northeast Louisiana FCA. It is an absolute joy getting to serve with all the incredible people in our area. Nothing better than getting to talk Jesus to our Coaches and Athletes.

Luke Albritton

LA Tech Ambassador

As a former Louisiana Tech baseball player, its my heart to see Jesus Christ transform the lives of student-athletes and coaches on LouisianaTech's campus. During my time there, I served on the leadership team for FCA. The impact FCA had on me and so many others helped mold me into the husband and father that I am today. 

Craig Moss

North Central Area Representative

It is an honor and privilege to serve our North Central Louisiana schools, coaches, and athletes. I have seen God work mightily and His ways are divine. In Isaiah 55:8, it says, “ For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways”. By our obedience in serving God and others is a small gift back to Him.

Your financial support is an investment in the lives of our coaches and athletes and I sincerely appreciate your support so we can reach more for God’s kingdom. 1 Corinthians 3:8-10 says, “The one who plants and the one who waters work as a team with the same purpose.......We work together as partners who belong to God. You are God’s field, God’s building—not ours. Because of God’s special favor to me, I have laid the foundation like and expert builder.

Thank you for your prayers, your investment and support. We are partners working for the glory of God’s Kingdom. May God bless you.
