College Football Championship

What is happening

The NCAA is hosting the Annual College Football Championship this year in Atlanta, GA, Jan 20, 2025. Lord willing SFOI will be there and is looking for 8 men to join the Team to preach Christ to the fans and local citizens for the 4 days, Friday Jan 17 to Monday, Jan 20, 2025.

Ministry will take place around the Mercedes-Benz Stadium and the Georgia World Congress Center which is right beside the stadium. The location is good for preaching Christ, ministering to people as they respond and referring them to a Bible teaching church for discipleship.

Game Summaries

Ministry Report from Darrel Davis: "The cold temperatures didn’t prevent us from proclaiming the gospel. The interaction on Saturday was fantastic with several people stopping to hear more about Jesus or to encourage us. My friend and team leader for the upcoming Super Bowl outreach, Mark Yoho, was able to lead a man named Louis to Jesus. Louis had just lost his aunt and was grieving but he went away rejoicing.

On the first day, we were able to get lots of gospel tracts out to people but by Monday, hardly anyone would take their hands out of their pockets to receive one. Preaching was our main way of planting seeds.

Saturday, I watched as a local man came up to where my friend Joe Toy was preaching. He listened for at least 15 minutes, then approached Joe to thank him for preaching the word. He told Joe that he needed to hear what Joe was preaching...

...All in all, it was a great outreach. Our leader, Alex Burt, did a great job and we enjoyed much team unity and great prayer times together. Pray for all seeds that were planted through our efforts and for fruit that remains."
