What is happening


The Indy 500 has been scheduled for the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 24, '26 in Indianapolis, IN. Lord willing SFOI will be there and is looking for 16 - 20 men 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 they come and go from Indy 500 events in downtown Indianapolis like the Parade on Saturday, at the Indianapolis Super Speedway on Friday, Carb Day, Saturday Legends Day, Sunday the Indy 500, and the local citizens who are in the area as well. 

 

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