Fairfield United Methodist Church will host “Revival in the Village,” a two-night evangelical event featuring Steve Wingfield and Derek Keiser, on Nov. 15-16, at 7 p.m.
Both evenings will include worship music, with Grant Bryant performing on Nov. 15 and Bruce Allen taking the stage on Nov. 16. Offerings collected during the event will support the Fairfield Helping Hands pantry, which is held at Fairfield Presbyterian Church on Friday mornings.
Wingfield serves as CEO and evangelist of Wingfield Ministries Inc., the Lodestar Mountain Inn, Lodestar Guidance, and Victory Weekend. With a ministerial career spanning over four decades, he has served as both pastor and evangelist, holding events in 16 states and 17 foreign countries.
Keiser, who was born and raised in Buena Vista, serves as an itinerant evangelist through IRPG Mission, supported by Clifford Baptist Church in Amherst County. IRPG stands for Incident Response Pocket Guide, which is used by wildland firefighters. Keiser coined the phase “I’m Ready to Preach the Gospel” for the mission God has for him, he says on the IRPG Mission website. Among the ministry work of IRPG Mission is to support the wildland fire community through the Gospel message and domestic mission trips.
Grant Bryant, nearly 20 years old, is a Fairfield native and the son of Chris and Gail Bryant. A graduate of Ridgeview Christian School, he is currently attending Mountain Gateway Community College, studying forestry and expecting to graduate this coming year. When not in class, he enjoys hunting, playing the guitar, and spending time with his dogs.
Bruce Allen has been in the music industry most of his life. He considers his most achieved moment to be his album “God Is Good,” featuring songs he believes God gave him from his heart and soul. He will be performing selections from this album on the evening of Nov. 16.
