Fields of Faith draws large crowd to Waukon High School football field ...

Cool but pleasant weather allowed the eighth annual local Fields of Faith event in Waukon to take place within its traditional setting on the football field at Waukon High School Wednesday, October 9, drawing another large crowd, as evident in the photo above. Messages of how faith has impacted their lives and allowed them to assist others in faith and other aspects of their lives were shared by a series of six different speakers during the event. Those six are pictured in the individual photos immediately below and included (left to right) MFL/MarMac High School senior Rose Mary McGeough, Waukon High School senior Dawson Baures and Waukon High School sophomore Madelyn Helgerson; former students of Dordt University in Sioux Center Kade Krosschell and Taylan Seaman; and Iowa husband and father of five children Mike DeJong. All six shared their own messages of faith derived from their variety of life experiences, those messages hitting home with the variety of age groups and life experiences represented by those in the audience. The musical sister trio of the Perryman Sisters (photo far below) further drove home the evening’s message with their performances throughout the evening. Bolstered by the local Fields of Faith team (pictured far below at right) that helped organize and promote this year’s event, along with pastors and other support staff from area congregations, a call was issued to those in the crowd who wished to strengthen their faith in an effort to improve any or all aspects of their lives, a call answered by many, as evident in the middle photo of those stacked below.
