Evangelist who joined: Rafael Bagirov Kofi (Rafael's friend), SK (member of Pastor King's church)

Besides the typical responses, one man yelled "why are you here??" and later, another man said "thank you for being here". I was joined by three new evangelists, SK (from Pastor King's church). This was his first time doing evangelism. He initially wanted to observe; he ended up handing out tracts. I was also joined by Rafael (whose dad was a local missionary) and his friend Kofi (Rafael also had two other friends handing out tracts elsewhere). After I preached, I asked Rafael, and he preached open air for the first time with amplification. God answered my prayer for more laborers!

Evangelist who joined: Isaac Bryant

Isaac and I handed out maybe 150 tracts and preached open air. I talked to one guy named Jacob who was not attending the game but wanted to see what all the people were doing. He was in town for a few days all the way from San Diego. He claimed to be a non-denominational Christian. He didn't talk much theology though, but when I started doing the good person test he admitted he was a sinner. I was able to get his contact info for follow up, (who has since contact me for info about SFOI and monergism). I also discovered through Jacob that there were some Scientologists handing out their cultic literature. I was about to wrap up the outreach, when a man named Mark walked up to us and requested prayer for his wife who wanted a divorce. I gave him a tract and told him I would pray for him on the spot but with his head down he said he had to get to the game. Glory to God.

Evangelist who joined: Pastor Ezhilarasan King, Isaac Bryant, Isaiah Richards

Had two new evangelists join Isaiah and I; Pastor Ezhilarasan King and Isaac Bryant. Isaiah held a small cross, and the rest of us preached open air and handed out lots of tracts; maybe over 200! Pastor King preached open air for the first time, praise God! Had a few hecklers; one of them who was somewhat tipsy said "I already know the Bible." I said, how many books are in the Bible? He said "12". I said no, there are more. He said, "I have all the books I need!" Glory to God

Evangelist who joined: Isaiah Richards

There were so many fans I was able to give out around 50 tracts at a perfect ministry location next to the stadium. Since more fans were still pouring into the stadium, I decided to preach open air, and I would say around 500 fans heard the Gospel. Around 10 or so men gave me fist bumps. All glory to the King of kings.
