Herewith feedback from the evangelists who reached out the past week (Sep 22-28):

Joe Toy - Carter Finley Stadium

Saturday, September 27, 2025

We had a team of for men and preached and passed out gospel tracts for three hours. We were thanked by some fellow believers for being there. No real significant gospel conversations.

Pat Hegarty - Canvas Stadium

Saturday, September 27, 2025

Mike Henderson and I arrived at Canvas Stadium about 3:45 for the game between the CSU Rams and the WSU Cougars. We decided to set up on the quieter side of the stadium in hopes of being heard clearly. We took turns preaching for about an hour and a half, with many people taking literature, including about 20 copies of the Gospel of John. Many people expressed appreciation for our presence and the bold proclamation of Christ. We also had a few naysayers to whom we pronounced our wish for God's blessing on them and for whom we are praying.

Matthew Redondo - Mountain America Stadium

Saturday, September 27, 2025

Had a rare severe rain storm. I thought the game was going to be cancelled but it was not. Mike and I got to preach. The crowds were great but not very receptive. Gave out some tracts but not many. While still close to the main entrance, the police have moved us across the street, so we are not in the best spot anymore but with reasonable access to the crowd. One brother accidentally bit his tongue while preaching and it started to bleed pretty good but he kept on preaching wet and cold!!! Praise the Lord!

Stirling Long - Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Sunday, September 28, 2025

Sunday’s outreach at the home ground of the Atlanta Falcons, played at the Mercedes Benz Stadium, was excellent. Thousands of sports crazy fans and NFL lovers poured passed us to hear the Gospel being preached. We had awesome gospel centered conversations and we distributed hundreds of gospel tracts. Some fans even stopped to chat and thank us for doing what we were doing.

Alex Burt - Sanford Stadium

Saturday, September 27, 2025

We had a huge crowd on Saturday with Alabama being in town to take on UGA. We began preaching at approximately 4:15 and concluded at around 7:15. We distributed numerous tracts and had several meaningful conversations. I even got a hug from a fan as I was preaching. He told me he was proud of me for preaching there (see picture). Of course, we had a couple of nay-sayers from the "But Nation.” If you’re not familiar with the term, it was coined by another evangelist years ago. It refers to people who will say things like, “I appreciate what you are doing, BUT this isn’t the way to reach people.” One guy said we were too loud, and it wasn’t the way to reach people. When asked how he reached people, he replied, “I teach Sunday School.” That’s typical of the But Nation. They accuse the preacher of doing it wrong, and when asked, it is revealed that they don’t reach anyone outside the church with the Gospel. It was a wonderful day with wonderful Brothers!

Kevin Tallaksen - Nittany Lions Stadium

Saturday, September 27, 2025

We had 3 total evangelists and we did evangelism for about 5 hours straight. We spent 3 hours in the tailgate areas having conversations and 2 hours preaching at the gates. We had many amazing conversations and God convicted many of sin and some were seeking repentance and asking incredible questions. God blessed the time!

Jerardo Ibarra - NRG Stadium

Sunday, September 28, 2025

Many gospel tracts went out at Texans game

Soli Deo Gloria

Jim Thornton - Fortera Stadium

Saturday, September 27, 2025

Student interested in Christ and Philosophy.

Nick O'Berry - Williams-Brice Stadium

Saturday, September 27, 2025

Something is definitely happening. The response of the people at the games this year has been remarkable. I was able to engage in several one-on-ones while I was preaching. People stopped to listen. They wanted to hear what I was saying. I have been praying for this, that God would just invade this nation with the gospel. He is working, and it is evident. Keep preaching.

Herewith feedback from the evangelists who reached out to Campus past week (Sep 22-28):

Joe Toy - Univ. North Carolina & North Carolina State Univ.

Monday, September 22, 2025 & Thursday, September 25, 2025

Pray for us as we bring the gospel to the students at NC State this afternoon. Pray for us as we are back at UNC today proclaiming Jesus. A student admitted to one of our team that You're the fourth Christian that I've met since I thought about taking my life. The Lord is at work. Jesus said, " I have come so that you might have life."
