ST. PETE GRAND PRIX

What is happening


SFOI will Lord willing return to St. Petersburg, FL for the St. Pete Grand Prix scheduled to be held March 8 - 10, 2024. We're looking for 10 men to join the team to preach the Gospel to the fans and local citizens; minister to them in the moment and to potentially refer them to a Bible teaching church or ministry for discipleship.


The goal is to evangelize and minister to the fans in the downtown St. Pete area as they come and go from the race and fan activities and the local citizens who are in the area as well. 


If you can't attend "Sponsor An Evangelist" (donate the fee) for someone to go in your stead: SAE.

Ministry Team '24

Game Summaries


Testimonies from the Ministry Team Members

"Cody told us he was a Christian. However as we spoke more to Cody we found that he was an alcoholic living with an older woman who herself was a drug addict. Cody was only 24 and this woman was in her 40’s. We advised him to break the shackles and return to his godly parents who were praying for him. We prayed with him and he assured us he was going back to his home in Indiana. Being on the streets is real church here we can deal with the hurting, the down trodden and those hopelessly lost just like we at one time were."


-Stirling Long



"Was thankful to share to gospel with 6 youth and have prayer with them. Prayer was led by Bill Schank. Praying they turn to Christ if they are not born again."


-Brad Madewell
