9th Annual Fields of Faith Set For Oct. 10
About 1,500 students and supporters attended last year's event at Cherokee High School.
CANTON,GA — Students from Cherokee County, Georgia will be joining thousands of other youth on athletic fields all across the nation on Wednesday, October 10, 2018, to share their Christian faith with fellow students during the ninth annual national Fields of Faith event. This rapidly-growing, interdenominational outreach event will be held at more than 500 locations throughout the nation on this same date.
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.
This will be the 9th Annual Fields of Faith event for Cherokee County, Georgia. Last year, approximately 1,500 students and supporters attended at Cherokee High School.
