10/8 - Saturday 10/8/2022 was a beautiful day to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ in Atlanta, Ga at the Bobby Dodd Stadium for the Georgia Tech football game. I brought this time my crosswalk cross that says “Stop and Talk” hoping more students would have gospel conversations with us as students leave the dining hall and head towards the campus and stadium. We noticed the crowds were smaller than last game. Stirling Long and I preached and as a result we eventually had students stop to talk and ask questions which was great. Carol spoke to an Asian student who had questions about the Old Testament, and she talked with her for a while. Stirling and Carol spoke with Sam who was a catholic and they spoke for at least 10-15 minutes, as the Lord delivered Stirling out of Catholicism. I spoke with Kyro (pronounced Kee-ro) who is an Egyptian Coptic Christian who leads Bible studies at the college. He stopped because a few days ago there were other angry street preachers at the college preaching hate and condemning everybody to hell and no grace or gospel message. He was happy to see a difference in our gospel message to reach students. We exchanged emails and I plan to stay in touch with him as there is a professor at Georgia Tech who attends my church. I love how the Lord makes connections with the body of Christ. I spoke also with a student who stopped and asked me if Jesus was God and the son of man, and I answered him “yes” and led into about who Jesus was both God and Man and he came to die for our sins and forgive us. I presented the whole gospel with him, and his name is Nabeel which I assume is Muslim, and I hope to see him again. I offered him a Bible, but he declined. Please pray for the students we spoke to on Saturday that we spoke to and handed out gospel tracts and heard the gospel preaching that they would come to know the Lord and His love for them at the cross in the gospel. Below is a photo of myself and Kyro.

ABOVE - Stirling Long - Inquisitive students stop and talk looking for answers outside of their own personal interpretations of faith. Many cannot believe that if you reject Jesus He will reject you. “But the one who denies and rejects Me before men, that one I will also deny and reject before My Father who is in heaven.” Matthew‬ ‭10:33‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Many great dialogues. “And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place,” Acts‬ ‭17:26‬ ‭ESV‬‬
