Since 2009 Sports Fan Outreach International has participated in the Great Commission (Matt 28:18-20) by mobilizing, equipping and discipling teams of preachers and evangelists to proclaim Christ (Phil. 1:18) to fans and local citizens at major sporting events like the Super Bowl, World Cup (soccer), Olympics, Final Four, and Rugby World Cup in the U.S.A. and large community events like festivals (see Gospel Invasions).
The teams are there to preach and teach the Bible amongst the large crowds of thousands of souls, minister to the souls who respond, refer them to a Bible teaching church for discipleship, distribute literature and be a present resource for the people regarding their questions and needs about the Christian faith.
SFOI ultimately exists for the salvation of sinners so they receive eternal life (John 17:3); the edification of the Saints that they may grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18); for the development of the evangelists who work with SFOI and for all that they receive every spiritual blessing God gives us in Christ (Ephesians 1:3).
SFOI’s three distinctives for the preachers and evangelists that participate are fellowship, teaching and outreach. Fellowship means that the Saints who participate are organized and minster together in teams and that the Saints’ accommodations are at the same location to facilitate interaction amongst everyone so they can get to know each other; teaching means that during the outreaches Pastors and Professors speak to us either about a specific topic or their area of expertise; and outreach means that the Saints are engaged in evangelistic outreach to the fans for six to eight hours per day.
SFOI now has established the George Whitefield program for men who believed they are called to full-time evangelism. SFOI offers administrative support and practical and theological training for full-time evangelists.
