OC FCA Nine years ago, only five huddles existed in Orange County. God has been working in BIG ways since then! Now, in 2008, we have over 45 huddles. What growth! Orange County FCA staff has grown as well and is dedicated to reaching students on junior high, high school and college campuses with Christ's love.
Student Athlete Spotlight Melissa Boyer - Edison High School
Melissa is a senior at Edison High School in Huntington Beach. She is a standout tennis player there and has been on the varsity team since she was a freshman. Melissa is a great leader on her campus and her peers look up to her because of her athleticism in tennis and her heart for her showing Christ to the people around her everyday at school.
Melissa has been involved in the Edison huddle since her freshman year and has served in numerous positions in her huddle's leadership including vice president, and currently as president. She often has shared her testimony or things that God has been teaching her personally in front of her peers at Edison's huddle. She is a shinning example of Christ to all around her and is always thinking of others. For work, Melissa gives tennis lessons to young girls every day after school. She not only provides these young girls with tennis skills to make them a better player, but provides them with a wonderful role model of how a young Christian girl should act and how she can love life by loving Christ. Every night, Melissa's parents find her in her room doing her quiet time. She is one of the most dedicated and hard-working young woman that you will ever meet, both when it comes to playing competitive sports, and her walk with Christ.
Melissa is going to pursue playing tennis in college. She is praying and waiting to see where God wants her at this point.

O’Brien-Amico, who was at the time still in the process of building her softball-legend status as part of the U.S. National Team, was standing in the lobby of a hotel chatting with some teammates.
