KENTUCKY DERBY
What is happening
Lord willing SFOI will be in Louisville, KY May 1 - 4, 2025, to preach Christ at Churchill Downs during Kentucky Derby weekend (Friday, the Kentucky Oaks, and Saturday, the Kentucky Derby).
SFOI is looking for 20 evangelists to join the Team to proclaim Christ 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 fan races at
Churchill Downs 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.
