Staff Missionaries

 

Chris Anderson

Chris Anderson is a disciple of Jesus Christ.  After serving on the start-up Board for Team FCA Endurance and moving to part-time staff in 2005, he was called as FCA Endurance’s first full-time missionary in the summer of 2007.  In his role, he serves as the national ministry hub, implementing the Lord’s revealed plan through serving and leading ministry volunteers around the country.  He has been married for thirteen years to Suzanne and has three wonderful boys, Elijah Christopher (7), John Myron (4), and Daniel Jeffrey (1).  Chris has a long history as a runner, swimmer, and triathlete, but is currently focusing on running.  Suzanne also enjoys running and triathlon.

Steve White

Christ follower. Jesus asked us to “Follow Me – “ 23 times in the bible. So then what does it me to be a Christ follower? Many say they are Christians but what about Christ followers? Steve and his wife Leigh ask this question in their own lives and then encourage others to consider the same question. Steve has served in ministry as a volunteer / lay person for over 16 years. During that time he has been taught from God about doing more than “playing the church game” but to strive to be real in his walk with God. This path has lead to this point with FCA Endurance. For many years feeling the call to full time ministry, Steve stepped away from a 20 year career in the aviation field to follow his heart and passion that God has placed in his heart. A heart and a passion to see people become “Christ Followers” and doing this through relationships. Steve has competed in over 20 triathlons and multiable running events. Leigh has also participated in over 20 triathlons with several top overall finishes! First involved with FCA Endurance in 2009, Steve and Leigh saw the tremendous opportunity to us their passion for sports and to take the life changing message out to a hurting people. Both for Christians and non-Christians. Through their local huddle in Savannah, they were able to see a great growth on the team, most importantly with the deeper God walk in their teammates. In 2011, God opened a door for Steve to pursue a full time staff position with FCA Endurance. Steve made the decision to step out of the boat and pursue this call, and he joined staff in February of 2012. He and Leigh are excited about what the future holds for their lives as the opportunity to serve the FCA Endurance family.

Joe Dannelly

Made whole, rescued, protected, saved - the meanings of the word "Sozo" tattooed on his right arm are a permanent declaration of Jesus' story in his life.  Joe started his career in graphic design with a word of mouth marketing and identity company. While serving as a huddle leader in Greenville, S.C., God continued to press on Joe's heart a future involved in ministry with missions. Joe came on staff with FCA Endurance in December of 2009 as the National Ministry Coordinator. His role is to broadcast the vision and mission of FCA Endurance of uniting and equipping teammates and ministry partners to impact the endurance community for Jesus Christ. Day to day, he serves as the main communication through general inquiries and oversees the online presence. In the summer of 2009, Joe married his best friend and training partner Ashley. Together they train and have a desire to make huge victories both in triathlon and for Jesus Christ. In the fall of 2011, Joe became a full-time seminary student at Columbia International University.  While this will temporarily limit his availability as a part-time staff member, this time of equipping will prepare him for an expanded ministry role in the very near future.
