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.

Same location but this time in the evening. Preaching from Joel 2 and parable in Luke about Prayer of pharisees and tax collector.
When about to preach from Luke someone asked about what the word was. Got to briefly share about Luke before they walked away. No problems from crowd. Everyone either listened or kept walking.

Corner of w general Robinson St and Tony Dorsett drive. Preached from Psalms 118, Psalms 130 and Psalms 32.
Hundreds of thousands of fans. There were even Charger fans. Interaction from one professing believer. He seemed positive and encouraged when sharing what I was preaching.
