Once again, God continues to use Fields of Faith as one of the most significant evangelistic outreaches FCA conducts each year. The 2015 event had remarkable impact, with more than 189,000 students participating on 526 athletic fields across the country for an evening of worship, testimony and commitment.
Fields of Faith is a peer-to-peer event that inspires students to refuel their faith and get back to the basics of reading God’s Word through worship and personal testimonies, sparking a spiritual movement for God.
Of those attendees, 5,966 made commitments to Christ, 6,647 recommitted to Christ, and 7,376 made commitments to read the Bible.
Students and volunteers were encouraged to detail their night via Twitter, and @fieldsoffaith lit up with staff, students and volunteers logging their events with #FOF15.
Tweets and stories came in from across the country:

To encourage and strengthen attendees after the event to continue their commitments, FCA partnered with YouVersion for a Bible reading app called 21 Days with God. It walks readers through the story of King Josiah and then sets out on a 21-day journey through the Gospel of John. Over 4,600 FOF attendees opted-in to receive daily text messages of encouragement and a link to the day’s reading plan.
God remains active in the hearts of student-athletes across the country. He is strengthening His influence and drawing people to Himself through Fields of Faith, impacting over one million people since it first began in 2004.
