Recap on Last Year's Event
Nationwide Fields of Faith 2019: 503 Fields – 192,000+ People
First in State. Last year, 2019 was a big year. One of those milestones included our first Fields of Faith in Wyoming. We joined the nation to pray and rally together! Sheridan and Rock Springs were ready to host. Of course, an early winter blizzard changed those plans. But, Rock Springs was still able to pull the event off with a great guest Speaker, energized volunteers and Task Force Team and students who both served and attended.
It was also an opportunity to share the Four (thanks to State Director Jim Hamilton) and get kids pumped for Camp 2020 (before Covid-19). Overall, the entire night was one to remember!
Volunteers and Leaders Rocked it! When asked about their experience at Fields of Faith and impact of FCA, a Rock Springs Coach and Volunteer shares:
"My experience as a volunteer for fields of Faith was amazing! We prayed about the event as a group and also individually, it was amazing to see how God orchestrated the evening and how things fell into place. Fields of faith allowed us to open the door and get the word out about Fellowship of Christian athletes in Rock Springs. As a parent and coach, it’s exciting to see all of the Christian kids bond together and be united.
Our task force has seen so many amazing things happen, not only for fields of faith, but also for getting kids to FCA Camp, fundraising, and allowing us to reach out in sports specific huddles to a large number of Rock Springs athletes. We have seen so many things happen when we let God be in control.... Ephesians 3:20 'now to him who is able to do above and beyond all we ask or think according to the power that works in us.'
Both of my children have attended FCA Camp for the past three years, they look forward to going every year. It is the only camp that I have worked and attended that reaches out to the whole student/athlete. I know God has great and amazing plans for Rock Springs, Wyoming!"
Thank you, Coach B., for this inspirational message and for all our Volunteers and what you do!
FOF 2020 is happening soon!
Virtual. This October 14th, we will be unifying under one rally cry and several screens! #fofo20 will be held as a live virtual event across the State instead of individual fields. In fact, anyone can attend! In the end, this actually works out. Even last year, Wyoming weather forced us off the fields and moved indoors in Rock Springs, along with the Sheridan FOF cancelled. By going virtual, we avoid more than one challenging situation!
Student Led. Fields of faith is a student led event and this year our Student Athlete Leaders are really stepping up! We have lined up a few Student Athletes to take the lead during this virtual events, including a challenge to love Jesus with their sport and sharing how God has changed their lives. It will be a motivating time!
How To Get Involved
Attend. Depending on your local guidelines, you may also be able to join your SALT team or other FCA Teammates to watch together. Always check with state and local safety guidelines first!
Share the word. Please be sure to let your FCA Teammates (Volunteers, SALT Leaders) about the event and send the link to Zoom meeting. Feel free to also invite your community leaders and pastors.
Pray. Will you pray for the impact and influence of FCA in Wyoming - for the 34,000+ athletes and coaches, for every athlete and coach to have a relationship with Jesus and His Church?
