On Tuesday I had the privilege of leading the FOCAS meeting for the BASS Elite Series Pros. FOCAS stands for the Fellowship of Christian Anglers Society, and was started way back in the day by Jimmy Houston and later led by Evangelist Terry Chupp. The meetings usually consist of a number of the BASS pros, the non fishing Marshalls, and anyone else who would like to attend.
The Classic meeting is usually one of the least attended just because not all of the FOCAS anglers qualify, and due to the hectic schedule of Classic week. Yesterday the Pre tournament briefing went about 30 minutes longer than usual so we had an abbreviated meeting time. I actually challenged them with the Philemon 1:6 Alarm challenge. (see earlier entry). My hope is that we all will pray that God will give us opportunities to share our faith.
The Anglers that attend FOCAS are some of the finest men that I know, and it is a pleasure to be able to serve here with them. In addition to the Anglers, many of their wives and family also attend the meetings. If you are ever near a BASS Elite Series Event, then consider joining us for the FOCAS meeting. All FOCAS meeting times are listed on the official web site of BASS.
I will be on call for the Pros and Staff this week. On Friday I will be in the Fishers of Men National Tournament trail booth at the Classic Show. If you are there, please come by and say hello!
