What is happening

SFOI will Lord willing be in Long Beach, CA for the Long Beach Grand Prix scheduled to be held April 11 - 13, 2025. We're looking for 7 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 in the Long Beach area as they come and go from the race and fan activities 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.
