John and Cindy,
There aren’t words big enough to capture how much you mean to me and to this ministry. You are more than partners – you are living examples of Christ’s love.
Your hugs, your handshakes, your generosity – they always overwhelm me. John, your laughter has a way of breaking through heaviness and reminding me of God’s joy. Cindy, your smile carries a light that feels like hope itself. Every time I’m with you, I see Jesus shining through.
What moves me most, though, is the way you parent. The way you love your daughters. The way you have carried Molly’s light so faithfully, even though heartbreak. It inspires me more than you’ll ever know. I pray every day that I can be even half the parents you are – steady, selfless, and full of grace.
Because of you, lives are changing. Because of Molly, kids are finding courage and joy in Christ. And because of your faith, I am reminded of the kind of man, father, and leader I long to be.
Thank you for showing me what it looks like to live with unwavering faith. Thank you for pouring out love when it would have been easier to withdraw. And thank you for trusting me to carry even a small piece of Molly’s light forward.
I love you both, and I am forever grateful.

When Molly’s Miracles gave 82 pennies through Challenge #22 last year, it wasn’t just about coins in a jar. It was about love — the kind of love Molly lived with every day. Love that smiled when things were hard, that laughed with people to make them feel seen, that showed courage when others might have shrunk back.
That same love shaped our FCA staff this past year. We showed up daily to schools and fields with faith in our hearts — believing that even small seeds could grow into a harvest. We laughed with athletes on the sidelines, encouraged coaches in quiet moments, and prayed with students who were searching for hope. In each of those moments, Molly’s light was shining through your gift.
I took those 82 pennies, prayed over them, wrapped them in Bible verses, and sowed them into every campus where we already have — and where we long to have — an FCA presence. Each coin became a prayer of faith, asking God to multiply them into a harvest of kids who would come and hear the Good News. And He did. By the end of the year, 60 huddles with 2,400 students had gathered. From elementary gyms to high school locker rooms, kids flooded into spaces where they could belong, be encouraged, and encounter Christ’s love.
Let me tell you what that looked like:
At one huddle, a coach told us he had never seen his team listen so intently as a student shared how FCA gave him the courage to live differently. That moment? Molly would have loved it — because it was filled with courage and honesty.
At another, a group of middle school girls laughed until they cried during a silly icebreaker. The joy in the room felt exactly like Molly’s joy — contagious, unshakable, and real.
And at Christmas, kids who often feel forgotten were given a party, a gift, and a reminder that they matter. The smiles on their faces were pure Molly — turning ordinary days into unforgettable miracles.
John and Cindy, this is what your partnership made possible. Molly’s legacy is alive in every laugh, every prayer, every huddle, and every life changed. What began as 82 pennies has become a miracle of multiplication — thousands of young athletes being reached with the hope of Jesus.
On behalf of every coach and athlete touched by this miracle, thank you for carrying Molly’s light forward with us. We could not do this without you.
With gratitude and hope,
David Farmer
