Our Ministry
Bill Adams is an officially commissioned lay evangelist in the Anglican Diocese of the South of the Anglican Communion of North America.
Bill has been taking the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the fans attending major sporting events across the U.S.A. and the world for over 10 years. These events include the Super Bowl, NBA & MLB All-Star games, NCAA Final Four, BCS Championship games, various bowl games, the Kentucky Derby, the Olympics, the World Cup, Euro Cup, the Cricket World Championships, the Rugby World Cup & the Pan AM Games.
What better place to be a light for the Lord than at a gathering of tens of thousands of sports fans?
Seeing a need for more Christians to take their faith to the world, Bill organized Sports Fan Outreach as an effort to encourage our brothers and sisters in Christ to share the Good News of Jesus Christ & Him crucified at these major sporting events!

Our Beliefs
Sports Fan Outreach is a Kingdom-minded, Christ-centered, Bible-based short-term mission agency that participates in the Great Commission by taking teams to proclaim Christ (Phil. 1:18) at major sporting events in the U.S.A. and around the world.
Our purpose is to inspire the Saints toward a more intimate relationship with our Heavenly Father, the Lord Jesus Christ & the Holy Spirit as they are revealed in Holy Scripture and to proclaim the message of Christ crucified for the salvation of sinners for the glory of God!
Doctrinal beliefs:
All men are dead (towards God) in their sins. They have no ability to choose God on their own, they have no life in them to respond to God. But salvation comes to man because He is rich in mercy & through His mercy He quickens man’s dead soul to life through the ministry of Christ: by grace are you saved through faith (Ephesians 2:1-9).
Faith comes by hearing & hearing through the Word (Romans 10:17). By the foolishness of preaching do men get saved (I Cor. 1:21). The preaching of the cross is foolishness to them that are perishing but it is the power of God to us who are being saved (I Cor. 1:18).
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (II Timothy 3:16 – 17).
Jesus is the way, the truth & the life. No one comes to the Father but through Him (John14:6).
The Trinity – we believe there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19, John 10:30).
There are only two kinds of people in this world: Saints who are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ (Romans 3:25) and sinners who will perish when Jesus returns in the clouds with His mighty angels (II Thesslonians 1:7-8).
Our life as Christians is to purposefully fulfill the Great Commission and to be obedient to the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:19-20; John 15:1-10).
If you read something that you want to clarify please contact us. Perhaps SFOI’s faith in Christ alone for the salvation of our souls for the glory of God alone hasn’t been adequately expressed in the afore mentioned verses; we’re always eager to discuss our Christian beliefs & welcome your inquiries. Thank you for taking your time to review our God given Statement of Faith whose source is the Holy Scriptures.
