{Thank you!}

☀️ Thank you to all who supported our 3rd Annual Fields of Faith in Cresco! Several hundred people heard the Gospel and left with encouragement after hearing many local testimonies!

Chris Norton’s message had a rippling impact on people of all ages.

100 students joined for prayer at the end of the event to be prayed over!

Around 30 Bibles were taken!

REFLECTION
💡Where in your life right now feels uncertain, unresolved, or difficult?
💡How could God be using this in your life for good?
💡 What will it take for you to trust Him in this?

PRAYER
🙏 “God remind me that you’re not done with me… not in the uncertainty, not in the waiting, and not in the moments that don’t make sense.

🙏Give me strength to keep going… the faith to trust You when I don’t understand, and the courage to believe that You are still working in my story.”

Have you ever gone through something that has caused you to doubt God? If we actually learned how to deal with doubt before it takes us out, we can actually have a deeper faith and a more intimate relationship with God.

Join us for Field of Faith on August 16th on the Cresco Football Field for a powerful message at 7:00pm-8:00pm from Chris Norton.

Chris will share a powerful message on adversity when his worst nightmare became his new reality.

What if Chris told you that your lowest moments in life could be the actual source of your biggest strength?

His story will shed light on the impact of how God uses our challenges to equip us to then influence the lives of others. There’s people out there going through just as difficult of things that we just can’t see.

GOD IS NOT DONE in your story either!

We have some BIG news!

Mark your calendar for the 2026 Northeast Iowa Fields of Faith in Cresco, Iowa‼️

We are exciting to bring our local communities a message of HOPE from keynote speaker, Chris Norton!

God’s Not Done With You 💪🏼
✝️What feels finished… isn’t the end… but the beginning of a God story!

🔥Chris Norton’s life changed in an instant. In 2010, a severe spinal cord injury playing football at Luther College left him paralyzed from the neck down and given a 3% chance of ever moving again. While he couldn't undo what happened, his response shaped everything that followed, including walking across the stage at his college graduation and his wedding.
In this inspiring keynote, Chris will share what it takes to not just go through change, but grow stronger because of it. Through powerful storytelling, humor, and unforgettable moments, he reveals how real strength is often built in the moments no one applauds, when progress is slow, help is required, and the next step is uncertain.

🎥Chris’s story has been featured on major media outlets and in the award-winning documentary 7
Yards. Today, he works with organizations around the world, combining lived experience with Meta Performance coaching to help leaders and teams grow stronger through change and faith!

Join us for this FREE community event put on by Fellowship of Christian Athletes through the generous giving of a few local sponsors! 🙌🏼
