The Fellowship of Christian Athletes hosted its annual Fields of Faith event with thousands of area students and athletes attending the event Wednesday night at Gordon Wood Stadium in Brownwood.

Those in attendance heard Christian testimonies from other athletes, live Christian music, and guest speaker John Randles.

Randles encouraged the students to have good character to increase their influence towards others.

He said, “Your generation may be the most important since the Book of Acts,” referring to the hard times people are experiencing which makes them open to change.

When the invitation was open, a mass of students and some adults came forward to learn more about Jesus and some to rededicate their life.

Leaders broke into prayer groups to help those who came forward.
