Gospel Preaching brings Gospel conversations

With the Packers doing well this season and a Sunday night game, the mixture was set up for an interesting night and it did not disappoint. Lots of tracts distributed and many fans acknowledging their encouragement (positively and otherwise) for being out there as well as recognizing the faithful constancy of us being there. 

Dan Walczyk, Greg Fischer and Gary were near the stadium, as people cross from their tailgating and parking areas to the stadium, passing out stoplight preaching as they cross the intersection. From their report, lots of tracts went out and the Gospel proclaimed as fans entered into Lambeau Field.

Dan Davis, Mike Henke and Heath Pucel were at our normal ministry spot on Armed Forces Way preaching the glorious birth and incarnation of Jesus Christ as the greatest gift to mankind needed but not wanted. With the preaching message set, the crowd reacted to the Gospel as it was hearing the message. While Dan was preaching, a fan came up to enter into a discussion as a result of the preaching and Dan stepped down to talk with him. While Dan was in a longer discussion the man eventually slapped the Bible out of Dans hand and kicked it a few feet away and then left. The crowd that was there, reacted with “Hey! That’s not right!” 

Then while Heath was preaching, a professing believer who did not like the preaching pulled the cord from the speaker and then went to walk away. Heath followed and engaged him and he was describing that people needed to hear that God loves them and encouraging them, they didn’t need to feel guilty about who they are. This entered into a 30 minute conversation where another fan walking by and was summoned by the professing believer for his defense started defending Heath as the heckler was not interested in a civil conversation. 

While Heath returned to preaching another fan tried to pull the gospel sign off the light pole. Overall the Gospel went forth and accomplished exactly what God had set out to accomplish through the preaching.
