Praise the Lord for a fruitful weekend in Indianapolis last Saturday - Monday for the College Football Championship. Five of us labored for 8 hours each day amongst thousands of fans and local citizens. Below is the team. Left to right:

Me; Jacob Nelson from Peoria, IL; Heath Pucel from Green Bay, WI; Greg Fischer from Denmark, WI; Brad Madewell from Chattanooga, TN.

Brad and Jacob and I met within two weeks before the event. Brad in faith asked off for two days so he could go and the Lord granted Brad the two days. 

Brad is brand new to preaching and Jacob is relatively new. They plus Heath and Greg two ministry veterans worked very well together. Brad and I had a chance to talk on the 6 1/2 hour ride to Indy and another 6 1/2 home about his testimony and what he believed the Lord is doing in his life. The fellowship is the gift of these trips.

For three days we were primarily ministering in front of the Indiana Convention Center for 8 hours daily. Beginning at 10:30 AM Saturday and Sunday and 11:00 Monday. The Convention attracted fans because they hosted the exhibit for fans called: Playoff Fan Central. Fans could attend whether they attended the game or not. 

The picture below on the left is the view from the front of the ICC towards Georgia Street where fans would cross the road to come to the fan fest in the ICC. The picture on the right shows the front of the ICC. The team is to the left of the picture.

Georgia Street which deadends into the Indiana Convention Center was also home to an all weekend street party. It hosted bands, vendors, large screen TVs and other items for the fans to do outside. You can see a local report here: Georgia Street. The two videos below show Georgia Street and ministry in front of the ICC.

Saturday and Sunday Monument Circle hosted concerts beginning at 5:00 PM and on gameday Monday it was home to an official tailgate party from Noon - 5:00 PM. Below are two videos showing the crowds and entrance for the concerts.

Game Day at Lucas Oil Stadium required locating at 5:00 PM Monday to the intersection of S. Capital Avenue and W. South Street in front of the stadium. 

The crowds from the Indiana Convention Center, Georgia Street and the rest of downtown Indy flock by this intersection into the stadium. 

This location is one of the best locations in the US to preach. These two videos show the area and Jacob preaching at the location.

I wish you could be with us one time to experience the joy of the ministry and fellowship. Maybe there is a way to capture it on video and we can do that but the point here is that your partnership provides a priceless gift to all the evangelists and then as a bonus to the souls who hear the Gospel, are ministered to in the moment and referred to a Bible teaching church or ministry for discipleship.

It's true that you are storing up much treasure in heaven!

Grace, mercy & peace,

Rev. Bill Adams
