Wingfield Ministries Inc

What it reported doing in 2024

Wingfield ministries, inc. Is dedicated to fostering spiritual growth and historical understanding through immersive educational experiences. While the ministry's planned holy land tours were previously postponed due to regional conflict, we are pleased to report a successful resumption of these vital programs. In 2025, the ministry officially resumed its holy land pilgrimages, conducting two successful tours in march and october. These expeditions provided participants with the unique opportunity to travel to the locations "where faith began," offering deep scriptural insights and historical context. Despite the challenges of previous years, the ministry remains committed to connecting individuals with the foundational roots of their faith through these transformative journeys. The costs of these trips are passed on to the tour participants. The organization held evangelistic events at local community venues. These events present the evangelistic message of jesus christ from a mobile platform to non-believers and believers in a very casual setting. We promote fellowship in communities and cultivate an atmosphere where individuals are open to hearing and receiving the good news of jesus christ using a variety of musical guests, inspiring testimonies, powerful messages from steve wingfield and others, family-friendly activities, individual services, and food vendors. Through a network of ministries in east africa, the us, and elsewhere, the gospel is preached, pastors are trained, professionals and athletes are inspired to witness to colleagues, and food is distributed to food-stressed families. Annual events occur primarily in may and august. Various other smaller ministry promotion events were also held during the year.
