Fields of Faith is a student led event. Students invite, pray for, share with, and challenge their peers to read the Bible and follow Jesus Christ. The FHS Billies Stadium field provides a neutral, rally point where a community can come together.
The event will start with prayer, and students will be sharing their faith testimonies. After this, students will be challenging their peers to read the Bible and to come to faith in Jesus Christ. Near the end, students will likely gather in small groups for prayer.
Typically a Fields of Faith event lasts about 90 minutes and is open to all people of all ages. Adults praying in the stands sounds like a great idea!
The guest speaker for this year's FBG FoF is Rich Garza, a former offensive lineman with the Denver Broncos and Philadelphia Eagles of the NFL and the Philadelphia Stars and San Antonio Gunslingers of the USFL. Garza has been a motivational speaker for 27 years and has delivered his messages everywhere from churches to San Quentin Prison. He currently works with the San Antonio Spurs.
Five student speakers are being recruited and include (so far) Anna Koenig and Cole Bourgeois. The Sonday House Fellowship praise team will be leading us in worship.
Several FBG churches are participating, including First Baptist, Holy Ghost Lutheran, Fredericksburg Methodist, Bethany Lutheran, Hill Country E-Free, South Church, St Mary's, St Barnabas, Sonday House Fellowship, and more.
