Evangelists who joined: Ed Romine and David Oveson


Great outreach. The weather was cool but pleasant. The game was well attended. Many thousands were offered the gospel. We ended up having several conversations as people drew near to the preaching. At one point I had 6 LDS college students surround me and were asking questions.

Great outreach. This crowd usually doesn't take a lot a tracts, but we got out more then usual. Great weather for an outreach coupled with a big in-state rivalry game made for large crowds. Many thousands of people heard some portion of the gospel.

Started out a little rainy. I was a little concerned since I forgot my rain gear. Fortunately, the rain held off. The outreach went pretty well. A few tried to discourage me. One guy hugged me and thanked me for being there. Pretty sure he was LDS. Also had a brief conversation with an LDS teenager, I was able to get a few more tracts out than the last game.

Evangelist(s) who joined: Pastor Ed Romine


Busy outreach. Lots of people. Not the best tract day, but the gospel was preached. I had an officer ask me to move, but I instead offered to turn my amp down a little.

BYU home game outreach update:


It was cold and had a light amount of snow. That didn't keep the fans home. They were there in large numbers as they have been all year. I was the only evangelist there, so I switched back and forth between preaching and passing out tracts.

BYU Home game outreach update


The cold weather finally arrived in the Utah Valley. Temps in the upper 40°s. That didn't slow down the crowds though. Brother Ed and I are taking turns preaching and passing out tracts.

BYU Outreach


Crowds are pretty constant. Stoplight preaching in a Mormon context is a little tricky as we only have a few moments to make a clear distinction between the Biblical Gospel and what the LDS church teaches. 


Date: September 21, 2024


I was by myself today. The crowds were large and steady. A good number of tracts went out.


I got into a brief conversation with a young, LDS teenager, and was able to get into a few of the differences between Biblical Christianity and LDS understanding of the Gospel.

Brigham Young University game


Crowds are pretty good for the first home game. Bro Ed and I are on a busy corner directly across from the stadium. Loads of people, majority LDS are hearing the Biblical Gospel.
