Fields of faith….

As a 20-year-old sophomore college lacrosse player, Frank Kelly experienced a spiritual awakening in the middle of practice one cold February afternoon that would alter the trajectory of his life forever. In Influence and The Creator’s Game: My Story and Stories of Family, Faith and Lacrosse, Frank shares his personal faith, family and business journey, and the impact of the Creator’s game from a very small field in a suburban Baltimore backyard to a famed collegiate turf field in Ithaca, New York, to the grass fields of the beautiful Vail Valley and the outback fields of Australia, to the Olympic fields of Lake Placid and the red dirt fields of Africa, to the fields nestled in the historic hills of Israel, and back to the fields of inner-city Baltimore. Along the way, Frank and his teams of kindred spirits answered the Creator’s call to help expand lacrosse’s footprint across the globe, while building FCA Lacrosse—the lacrosse-specific ministry of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes—into an international movement that influences thousands of young athletes, families, friends and coaches each year.

Frank’s warm, humorous, and at times painful stories convey life lessons on how to discern the doors that the Creator opens in our lives and develop the faith to walk through them one at a time.
