What is happening

The North Carolina State Fair has been scheduled for Oct 15 - 25, 2026 in Raleigh, NC.

Lord willing SFOI together with Gospel of God Ministries, will be there from Oct 21st to Oct 25th and is looking for 6 out of town evangelists 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 as they come and go from the North Carolina State Fair 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.

Would you consider sponsoring the printing of tracts used at SFOI outreaches? Goto: Sponsor Tracts

Thank you for praying for the NC State Fair outreach. Over 340,000 people heard the Gospel, 10,000 tracts were given out along with 430 Bibles, and we had encounters with Satanists and people of many different beliefs.
