Faith in the Field: Replenish Festival 2026
The day is packed with vendors, food trucks, activities for both kids and adults, worship, God's word and of course, music. The lineup for 2026 featured Christian artists Mike Cunningham, Chris McQuistion, and Rhett Walker as the headlining performer.
The rain didn’t dampen the day on Saturday, July 11, at Burnett Farm in Willis where hundreds of Floyd County locals and out-of-towners gathered for Replenish Festival 2026.
Replenish Festival began just as a vision for Travis and Mandie Bishop back in the early 2000s.
“God gave him [Travis] a vision of thousands of people receiving Christ in a field. He didn’t know where that field was supposed to be, but God told him to set the stage and God would do the work,” said Mandie, co-founder of Replenish Ministries Inc., the organization that puts together the Replenish Festival every year.
After continuous prayer by both Travis and Mandie about this vision, Replenish Ministries and soon after, Replenish Festival was born in 2014.

The day is packed with vendors, food trucks, activities for both kids and adults, worship, God's word and of course, music. The lineup for 2026 featured Christian artists Mike Cunningham, Chris McQuistion, and Rhett Walker as the headlining performer.
“We are always trying to grow it,” said Teresa Martin, Marketing Director for Replenish Festival. “We had people say they came up from North Carolina today, and Mike Cunningham, who is performing, is from Ohio.”
Martin continued, “There are a lot of artists that reach out to us to see if they can play. For the headline artists, we do go through management to say ‘here’s our budget, who can we get for that?’ We had Jordan Feliz before he made it big, for example.”
Replenish Festival relies on sponsorships to make the day possible and many local businesses sponsor the event. “It’s definitely evolved and changed with trial and error," Mandie Bishop said. “The goal is that we would love to do all weekend, but right now we just have the manpower for one day. We hope to let it get bigger and more people to receive Christ.”

“I came tonight to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I’m not ashamed of it,” shouted Pastor Chandler Jones of Compassion Church in Radford, who spoke prior to the musicians taking stage. Pastor Jones spoke about Lot’s wife, from Luke 17:32 in the Bible.
“Remember Lot’s wife. Not because she’s beautiful, not because she’s influential, not because she’s a woman of God – Jesus said to remember Lot’s wife so that you’re careful not to repeat her. Remember her so you don’t repeat her,” Jones said.
He continued, “You don’t have to be a theologian to look at our world and know that not something is going to happen, but someone is going to come back. His name is Jesus.”
Shortly after the Pastor’s sermon, eight festival attendees were baptized for all to witness.

The Festival brings in between 800 and 1,000 people from across Floyd County and surrounding areas.
Siblings Rodney and Reanna Blevins said they attended the festival this year because of encouragement from their mother and because of the musicians performing.
“I love the fellowship, the family community,” said Rodney. “My background, I’ve had some troubles and stuff in the past, and I’ve been trying to renew my life the last couple years and find a better path and this is the kind of stuff I’d rather attend.”
Replenish Festival admission is affordable, and it includes all activities on the farm. The only thing attendees pay for is food and items from vendors.

“We want to continue getting the word out, making it accessible and cheap enough,” Bishop said. “If a family of four can go to a McDonald’s drive-thru they can come here. And McDonald’s has gotten expensive.”
The Replenish Festival is always seeking volunteers and longstanding sponsors to make the event a success. The event is always held the Saturday after the Fourth of July every year.
