POLSON — Sharing their faith among classmates, more than 200 students and their families attended the third annual Fields of Faith program at Polson High School Oct. 12.
Hosted by Polson High School Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Glacier High School Fellowship of Christian Athletes, local churches and businesses, the event included worship music from the New Life Church praise band and highlighted testimonies from college athletes who shared their stories and encouraged each other to apply Biblical principals for the “game plan for life.”
Former and present college athletes who spoke included Tim Rausch, baseball player at Western Oregon; Kevin Owen, wrestler at the University of North Carolina; Savannah Witt, soccer player for the University of Montana; and Gabby Martinez, currently a junior softball player at the University of Montana.
Students raised money through car washes to sponsor the event, and Total Screen Design printed 522 shirts to give to participants.
Thousands of students from across the nation and world gather on their school’s athletic field the same night.
Although the event is usually held in the Polson Sports Complex, it was moved indoors this year due to the cold weather.
