We were preaching at the University of Southern California to huge crowds. The week before, we had a pastor rebuke us for open air preaching. This week, we had an amazing Divine appointment. A man named Nick took a tract, sat down nearby and read it, then approached us with questions. It's clear the Holy Spirit was at work in his heart. He struggled with drunkenness and the simplicity of faith in Christ. The amazing part is that when we arrived at the stadium, we realized we forgot our tracts. We got some tracts from another person from our church. They were different from the ones we brought. The tracts we had were "This Was Your Life" and "How Men Come to Christ." Both deal with the topics that Nick struggled with. Had we brought our tracts, he wouldn't have received those. God overruled our plans with forgetfulness because He knew what Nick needed.

Great afternoon of Gospel preaching even in the midst of a heat wave. Pray that lost souls will find refuge in Christ. #SFOI1000

Yesterday we had a group from our church in Mexico ministering to migrant camps. Today we will be sharing the Gospel to the 100,000 plus at the USC game. Pray for us.

Pray for our evangelism efforts at the USC game this morning from 930-1230. We have 5 from our church going out today.
We are playing hymns while passing out tracts and a police officer walks over and asks if we can turn the speaker louder. That was a first.
Fantastic day sharing the Gospel
