The football season always brings about interesting and fruitful conversations concerning the Gospel of Jesus Christ; brought about by bold public preaching of His Word.
“ but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,“
- 1 Peter 3:15 ESV

So blessed to be a part of these wonderful men of God, who love the Lord their God with all their mind and strength and proclaim and magnify His name.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.”
- John 5:24 ESV

A cold and blustery day at Atlanta Falcons vs New Orleans Saints Rival Football Game. Fans were unconvinced that a “ Payday “ is coming. “No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all perish as well!” - Luke 13:3 HCSB

Three Open Air Preachers gathered for Sunday’s Falcons vs Vikings NFL Game. The masses rolled past the preaching of the gospel with little interest just like the days of Noah. Hundreds of Gospel tracts were also distributed. Lastly we believe the Gospel soiled was tilled with His Word preached with many seeds scattered while sports enthusiasts were preoccupied with their worldly love for football with no thought of eternity.

Wonderful fall Sunday not to hot or too cold to preach to the masses of football fans entering the Stadium. Alex and I preached from John explaining who Christ is and what He has done for us. We both handed out lots of tracts. Atlanta sports mad crowds are very accommodating and we received more affirmation than heckling from mockers. It was a pleasure to take His Gospel to the Lost.

Falcons games are normally on Sunday mid morning so it’s been difficult to get other Evangelists to join me because of their church commitments. Having said that Sunday October 8th was a brilliant day Preaching and talking to Atlanta Football Fans, Stadium Staff and Police. I started off playing some West African Worship Music. You can hear a snippet on my Instagram page. Beautiful songs honoring our God as Lord of All. Then I preached a message on John 15. “ Are you in Christ”. I rarely get favorable responses but on Sunday I had plenty. It goes to show Jesus confirms His Word - we are never alone. When we go in His power we always succeed in getting His Word out.

While hundreds of fans flooded the sidewalks headed towards the Mercedes Benz Stadium, a bright light shone over one corner as the Gospel was proclaimed telling the fans of the glorious work of Jesus Christ. Today there were very few mockers and scoffers and both Carol and I had amazing Christ centered conversations with a number of people. “He was in the world, and the world was created through Him, yet the world did not recognize Him. He came to His own, and His own people did not receive Him.” - John 1:10-11 HCSB
