Northwest Michigan FCA October Newsletter

We are praising God for how he has been moving in mighty ways across Northern Michigan! The 2 Fields of Faith events in Traverse City and Gaylord were both incredible and God worked in the lives of many who attended. Many received Christ for the first time, and hundreds re-dedicated their lives to Him- Praise God! If you have a story you want to share about how you were impacted at Fields of Faith, please let us know! Click Here to reach us.

Discipleship is one of the main focus areas of FCA ministry, and it is so encouraging to see students growing in their faith as they meet weekly at their FCA Huddles. There are currently 26 schools in Northern Michigan with FCA Huddles meeting, and more are in the planning process. We would love to see FCA Huddles in every school in Northern Michigan, so if your school does not yet have FCA, we'd love to help you get started!

Please reach out if you have any questions or if you would like to get involved with any of our Huddles, events, or partner with us as a donor.

In Christ,

-Jen Yost, Area Director

"Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith."

1 Timothy 6:11-12

Two incredible Fields of Faith events were held in Northern Michigan in October. One was held in Traverse City at Thirlby Field and the other was in Gaylord at the Gaylord High School Community Field. In Gaylord, around 250 were in attendance. 4 students boldly shared their testimonies, and Guest Speaker Jerome John shared the gospel with several students making first-time decisions to follow Jesus! In Traverse City, about 450 attended at Thirlby Field and at least 12 students made first time decisions to follow Jesus. Speaker Nobles Darby powerfully presented the gospel, and many students made faith decisions. Hundreds stood up to re-dedicate their lives to Jesus- Praise God! Testimonies were shared by 4 Traverse City students, and they all had powerful stories to share with their peers. We are so grateful for how God moved in mighty ways through Fields of Faith!

"Fields of Faith was so powerful. So many people came together to praise God. My favorite part was hearing the student testimonies and the different ways God has worked in people's lives. I was reminded that God is the only foundation that we can build our life on."

-Riley S.

"I really liked Nobles' stories about his life. They were impactful and to the point. I was reminded of the devastation that sin causes in people's life. It was amazing to see the overwhelming response from the crowd."

-Luke A.
