At an Arkansas high school, around 3,000 individuals, predominantly teenagers, came together for an evening filled with music and testimonies of Christian faith.
From Christian Post:
Known as Fields of Faith, the event took place last Wednesday at the Lakeside High School Stadium in Hot Springs, and was one of hundreds of Fields of Faith events held worldwide this year.
Micah May, who serves as multi-area director for FCA South Central Arkansas, told The Christian Post on Monday that over 3,000 people attended last week’s Fields of Faith event.
“We believe God goes before us as we prepare for an event like FOF. We run a social media campaign, hang posters at every campus and distribute promotional T-shirts through our local FCA huddles on each campus,” said May.
“We have generous sponsors who underwrite the event so that the event is completely free for students to attend. Ultimately, it comes down to friends inviting friends. They influence each other, FCA simply provides the venue, food and band.”
The Arkansas event included a pre-rally that featured free food, games and live music, as well as allocating time for students to publicly share their testimonies of faith.
While this year’s Fields of Faith marked the 17th such event held in Hot Springs, with the first being in 2006, May told CP that he considered last week’s gathering to be “special.”
“Luke 1:37 tells us that God’s Word never fails,” said May. “Truly, there was an unmistakable move of the Holy Spirit. Hundreds of students prayed seeking the Lord, God was present and lives were changed.”
This is undeniably beautiful and serves as a powerful reminder that this latest generation is more than capable of much more than just mindlessly posting content on social media.
