What is happening

Lord willing SFOI will be in Phoenix, AZ April 5 - April 8 to preach Christ during the NCAA Men's Final Four Tournament.

SFOI is looking for 8 evangelists to join the team to preach the Gospel to the fans and local citizens; minister to them in the moment and to potentially refer them to a Bible teaching church or ministry for discipleship.

The goal is to evangelize and minister to the fans at various locations in Phoenix as they come and go from the fan activities; also at State Farm Stadium before the games on Saturday and Monday and to the local citizens who are in these areas as well. 

If you can't attend "Sponsor An Evangelist" (donate the fee) for someone to go in your stead: SAE.
