Drew Smith is a prospective Area Representative with FCA, based in Edmonds, preparing to minister to coaches and athletes through Huddles at local high schools once fully funded. Originally from Columbus, Indiana, Drew competed in cross country, basketball, and golf in high school and went on to play golf at Hillsdale College, where he earned a degree in Philosophy. After encountering Jesus in college, Drew felt a clear calling to use his background in sports to reach the next generation of athletes, and when he prayed for God to open a door into ministry, that door led him to FCA. He is passionate about sharing the Gospel with high school students who are searching for truth in a culture that often opposes Christ, and he hopes to see young athletes become disciples who boldly live out and share their faith in every arena of life. Drew lives with his wife and two children and invites others to partner with him through prayer and financial support as he raises the funds needed to step fully into this ministry role.
