Georgia Tech Football Outreach September 3, 2026
Tonight Alex Burt and I with Sports Fan Outreach #sfoi hit the streets for the first Georgia Tech home football game of the season. We started around 5 PM near the dining hall and later moved across the street where folks come to the game from the MARTA station, where we were able to engage the growing crowds and pass out many gospel tracts.
It was encouraging to see some familiar faces, including Cameron and his wife Rebecca, who recognized me from last year. I’m looking forward to connecting Cameron with Sports Fan Outreach International.
We also saw plenty of Dragon Con attendees around Atlanta and on MARTA.
The rain came down hard around 7:15 PM, so we wrapped things up, but we’re thankful for the opportunity to proclaim Christ!
Thank you for praying! Please continue to pray that the seeds planted tonight will bear fruit.
“How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

3 hours of preaching and gospel tracts. Fall football at Bobby Dodd Stadium in Atlanta brought thousands of fans across our path where preaching the Gospel drew many over for great conversations.

Thank you for praying . Out for 3 hours preaching to Marta patrons attending the Georgia Tech game as they passed by. I met Emory who is a Christian and stopped by wanting to learn how to not be fearful of sharing his faith. He lives near Stirling Long and we hope to make a connection and encourage his faith.

Two hours of preaching today at Georgia Tech. A smaller crowd and I met a few Christians today going today to the game. Only one driver shouted at me asking to talk to God to get a different president, then drove off. I concluded once it started raining hard. Glory to God!

Today a sold-out crowd of more than 50,000 Georgia Tech and Clemson fans poured in for the game, and I was there to preach the gospel of Christ crucified. The photos below show fans walking from the Marta train system toward the stadium.
One lady with her two grandchildren stopped and, knowing why I was there, thanked me for speaking the truth about Jesus. Two young men, Ian and Asher, were out campaigning and came over to encourage me, and they were very respectful about the preaching. Out of thousands, only one woman told me to “shut up," and that's exactly what the enemy wants us to do.
Jesus sent His disciples out two by two (Mark 6). Yet many times I’ve gone out alone, though that was not His example. This is my 4th year preaching at Georgia Tech, but with 51,000+ fans streaming in, it is far too big for one person to reach.
Next Saturday, September 20th, there will be another game. If you live near Atlanta, would you please pray about joining me? Together, we can proclaim Christ to thousands who need Him.
