I was hoping a few others would join me, but ended up being just me on the streets for the Steeler game. I opened the season by reading from Proverbs, chapter 1, and then, after reading and preaching a little from that, I went on to John, chapter 5. Had a few people respond positively with God bless you. Other than that, no interactions was a peaceful day. Praise God

Preach from John 3:16 Luke 18, James 4, and Galatians
Had someone challenge me and ask me to leave preaching spot. I told him I've been coming to the games regularly and wasn't moving and told him I would leave later. Guy was upset claiming I wasn't helping people and was being too loud. I tend to be a soft hearted but grateful I held my ground.
Three Atheists approached one wanted to know if I was preaching from original book. Question was asked what he meant by original book. He then said I don't know. Other Atheist said I'm gay and I then told him that God loves him. He responded with no he doesn't. I said to him why not. All three walked away after that.
