Hello! Welcome to E3 in Action stories.
We hope that these stories give you insight into what God is doing in our square state. We want to engage, equip, and empower our WY athletes and coaches, along with connecting our amazing FCA community of volunteers and supporters.
That’s why…
We would like to share with you in this post:
- Why Fields of Faith
- The First Fields of Faith
- Fields of Faith from other years
Feel free to keep reading!
It's that time of year again! Fields of Faith is happening all around the nation and all around our square state, too. Here are the Fields of Faith events in Wyoming: Rocksprings, Moorcroft and Sheridan
Would you like to learn more about FCA WYO Fields of Faith? Check out info from the official site below or continue reading about our past FOFs. Just keep in mind - with Wyoming weather, our fields often turn into gym floors of faith events! We would love for you to pray and attend this event!
From the official website:
Why Fields of Faith?
You Can Help Change Our Culture.
It’s time to spark a spiritual movement for God. Christianity needs a change in momentum—students who will stand together against the pressures and temptations in our world and be a generation that is committed to reading the Bible and applying it to their lives.
It’s time to Get in the Game and Get in the Book!
The First Fields of Faith
by FCA WY
Recap on First Fields of Faith in 2019
Nationwide Fields of Faith 2019: 503 Fields – 192,000+ People
First in State. 2019 was a big year. One of those milestones included our first Fields of Faith in Wyoming. We joined the nation to pray and rally together! Sheridan and Rock Springs were ready to host. Of course, an early winter blizzard changed those plans. But, Rock Springs was still able to pull the event off with a great guest Speaker, energized volunteers and Task Force Team and students who both served and attended.
It was also an opportunity for Staff Jim Hamilton to share the FOUR and get kids pumped for Camp 2020 (before Covid-19). Overall, the entire night was one to remember! Pastor Nate is now on Staff and hosting Fields of Faith in Rock Springs this year!
Volunteers and Leaders Rocked it! When asked about their experience at Fields of Faith and impact of FCA, a Rock Springs Coach and Volunteer shares:
"My experience as a volunteer for fields of Faith was amazing! We prayed about the event as a group and also individually, it was amazing to see how God orchestrated the evening and how things fell into place. Fields of faith allowed us to open the door and get the word out about Fellowship of Christian athletes in Rock Springs. As a parent and coach, it’s exciting to see all of the Christian kids bond together and be united.
Our volunteers have seen so many amazing things happen, not only for fields of faith, but also for getting kids to FCA Camp, fundraising, and allowing us to reach out in sports specific huddles to a large number of Rock Springs athletes. We have seen so many things happen when we let God be in control.... Ephesians 3:20 'now to him who is able to do above and beyond all we ask or think according to the power that works in us.'
Both of my children have attended FCA Camp for the past three years, they look forward to going every year. It is the only camp that I have worked and attended that reaches out to the whole student/athlete. I know God has great and amazing plans for Rock Springs, Wyoming!"
Thank you, Coach B., for this inspirational message and for all our Volunteers and what you do!

Recap of the Virtual Wyoming Event
Fields of Faiths served a big part of our October Highlights as our second year and our first FOF virtual event. Yes, even early blizzards and on-going pandemic couldn't stop ministry in 2020! We were blessed to have this student led event through Zoom, with host and Powder River Staff, Cameron and the panelists - Student Athlete Leaders and Guest Speaker Pastor Aaron. Thank you to everyone who stepped up and out in faith!
While we missed having Fields of Faith as a face-to-face event, like last year in Rock Springs, the virtual meeting was still a great opportunity to share the Gospel message and it allowed these Student Athlete Leaders to really lead and serve. The focus of FCA WY this year has really centered on equipping and empowering our FCA Student Athlete Leaders.
Just look at how Shaelea, from Sheridan, had some powerful words for peers: "Just seeing the impact in school and how these people are given hope for the first time, you are loved and you are seen and going through hard times in high school - that's what I am going to remember most."
This is the kind of leadership that gets us excited for the future of FCA WY and the
potential impact!
And while this event pumped up our Leaders in their faith, it also was an opportunity to help others grow in their faith. Infact,
5 attendees responded with wanting to grow more in their faith after the event.
5 is awesome!
Whether it is 5 or a 100 - we want EVERY Athlete and EVERY Coach in Wyoming to know Jesus and this is just plain awesome, TEAM.
