‘Fire In The Field’ Tent Revival Begins Sunday In Atmore
October 3, 2018
A “Fire in the Field” tent revival will begin Sunday in Atmore.
The area-wide event will take place Sunday, October 7, through Thursday, October 11 under the “big white tent” located behind Hardee’s on Highway 21 at I-65 in Atmore.
The group “Across Festivals” is coordinating the event. The group has held similar events in Monroeville, AL, and recently in Valley, AL, where 124 people came forward and professed their faith in Jesus Christ for the first time.
For one Atmore man, the upcoming tent revival sparked childhood memories of a tent crusade he attended in Pennsylvania with his family.
“I remember very well the night I decided to publicly declare my allegiance to Jesus Christ,” David Landis said. “It happened during the George R. Brunk Tent Crusade.”
“I pray that you will prayerfully consider the seriousness of the Fire in the Field community tent crusade and will plan to support and promote it in whatever way you can. To my knowledge this is the first time anything of this spiritual magnitude has been planned for this area,” Landis said. “I consider it a once in a lifetime event for this area, and if one person gets to experience what I experienced as a young man, it will have been worth it all.”
Fire in the Field will begin at 6 p.m. on Sunday, October 7, and will be at 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday nights, October 8-11.

I remember many years ago, my parents dragging me to tent revivals, the saw dust and the sweat. Looking back at those moments, those times meant a lot to me. I think those Bible waving road preachers really meant what they were saying. They probably did not have Doctor of Divinity Degrees, and many of them probably had another daytime job, maybe a carpenter. They had the Spirit of the Lord, and knew how to express their feelings. My Dad always said their sermons might have been the last vestige of hope some of those souls might have.
In the recent book, and movie, “Unbroken,” the true story of Louie Zamperini, Olympic star, WW II veteran, POW, and his” story of survival, resilience, and redemption,” in a revival tent led by a young Billy Graham brought back many memories of saw dust and sweaty nights.
Sounds interesting.
I remember a tent revival in Atmore back around 1979. It was held in the Tom Byrne Park.
I remember 2 tent revivals from my childhood, one in Mt Olive Ballpark and one on the grounds of Gardendale First Baptist. You never see large tent revivals anymore. I’ll be there as will my children. Neither my 18 or 15 year old have even seen a tent revival.
So excited about this crusade. Praying and believing for great things. This can be an awesome event for our surrounding communities. I pray that people will take the time to attend.
