God planted seeds of the Gospel in these ladies' hearts by way of church, family, and fellowship during their younger years and eventually brought each of them to surrender their lives to Christ. Katie grew up going to church every weekend and shares that her mom was vital in teaching her about God at a very early age. Taylor's childhood church consistently shared the Gospel and because of that she surrendered her life to Christ when she was in elementary school. Joeli grew up in a faith-filled family, but didn't have a strong personal relationship with Jesus until she was in college. God has blessed the three of them as co-workers, friends, and sisters in Christ.
Katie first learned about FCA through social media. This past Fall she watched as social media posts were shared regarding Fields of Faith. She decided to take a group of Springfield's 7th grade boys to Marshall to experience the event alongside her and her husband. Being some of the last to leave the event that evening, it was evident the boys had found community in fellowship, wisdom in what speaker Coach Matt Lundeen spoke over them, and encouragement in the testimonies shared. Katie prayed over Matthew 28:19-20 which reads, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always to the end of the age." This is the Great Commission!
