'Fields of Faith' Brings Students Together Across Nation, Locally

By: Press Release
Updated: October 9, 2012
Students will be joining thousands of other youth on athletic fields all across America on Wednesday, October 10 to share their Christian faith with fellow students during the national Fields of Faith event.

This rapidly-growing, interdenominational outreach event will be held at more than 400 locations throughout the nation on this same date.   

The Abilene event will be held at Shotwell Stadium.
   
While many Christian rallies are anchored to an entertainer or professional speaker that creates a spectator event, Fields of Faith is structured as a student-to-student ministry.

Peers invite their own classmates and teammates to meet on their school's athletic field to hear fellow students share their testimonies, challenge them to read the Bible and to come to faith in Jesus Christ.

Last year, over 12,750 students gathered in these five cities.

"The impact of Fields of Faith has been incredible in just these past few years," said Les Steckel, FCA president and former veteran NFL coach. "It's all about young people in these communities coming together on their school's athletic field and challenging each other to go back to the fundamentals of reading God's Word and coming to faith in Jesus Christ."
