SFOI 1000

Evangelist: Pat Hegarty

Canvas Stadium

Date: Saturday, October 18, 2025

The attendance at Colorado State's Canvas Stadium on October 18, 2025, was a record all time high of 40,416 for our fifth #sfoi outreach of 2025 at CSU. I preached from Psalm 50 about the God's call to both legalist and the lawless to glorify God by bringing the sacrifice of thanksgiving which cause us to look away from ourselves and what we are doing to the perfect sacrifice that God has provided in Christ.

It was a bit rainy but not too cold for this CSU Rams v the Fresno State Bulldogs game that kicked off at 7:00 pm on October 11th, 2025. We had a number of people who stopped and talked including one man who stood up on a rock opposite Mike Henderson for about 20 minutes offering challenges to the Gospel and asking questions. It was a good interaction. I also talked to 2 high school-aged brothers that were Romans Catholic, one of whom thought he would get to heaven if he "did not do anything stupid". Please pray for all who heard the Word.

Mike Henderson and I arrived at Canvas Stadium about 3:45 for the game between the CSU Rams and the WSU Cougars. We decided to set up on the quieter side of the stadium in hopes of being heard clearly. We took turns preaching for about an hour and a half, with many people taking literature, including about 20 copies of the Gospel of John. Many people expressed appreciation for our presence and the bold proclamation of Christ. We also had a few naysayers to whom we pronounced our wish for God's blessing on them and for whom we are praying.

Mike and I were out at Canvas Stadium for the CSU Rams v the USTA Roadrunners game. I arrived about 5 pm and stayed until about 8:30 pm. Mike had to leave a bit earlier. We were able to preach to the fans for a good portion of that time, leading up to kickoff at 7:30 pm. Our message was about Christ suffering for us so that we would not have to be afraid or troubled when we are called to suffer for righteousness' sake. 1 Peter 3:13 "Who will harm you if you are devoted to doing good?" The answer is that no one can ultimately harm you in that case. Even if you are persecuted for Christ, you are blessed. We pointed out that CK, as someone who strove to interact with people with gentleness and respect as he defended the reason for the hope he had in Christ, was and is a great example of that truth. After the preaching, there were about 5 or 6 students that engaged me in conversation for about 45 minutes. It was a great opportunity. I praise God that my brother Mike could join me and I was blessed by his preaching! Join us if you can! Next home game is on Sep 27th.

There was a good-sized crowd out at Canvas Stadium for the first home game of the 2025 season at Colorado State University. I arrived about 2 hours before kickoff. I was preaching about the strong confidence David exhibits in Psalm 23 because of the very real presence of the LORD, his shepherd, in his life. All of this prefigures the shepherd that was to come, who would lay His life down for his sheep. Read Psalm 22 and 23. God Bless!

The weather was very nice for the CSU v UTEP game in Fort Collins which started at 3 pm on 092124. I was joined by 2 brothers who encouraged and assisted in taking the gospel to the fans.

We passed out tracts and preached from Psalm 34 on the subject of "God Delivers us from from ungodly fears through reverence for Christ."

The crowds were smaller this week but there were many opportunities. Praise God for His faithfulness!

It was a beautiful day to be out at Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, CO on Saturday September 7th for the CSU Rams opening home game of the season.

 I was able to display the "Are You Ready" cross and preach from Psalm 1 and 2 using the theme "Against Our Refuge the Blessed Royal Son the Peoples Plot in Vain" As well as from John 15:1-17 on "Christ the True Vine, Source of All We Need"
