Mackay Stadium

Date: October 12, 2024

Handed out a lot of tracts and got to preach once again in front of the student gate area as students walked to the game extremely drunk.

There was a lot of Oregon State fans that heard the gospel as well. I preached to the Nevada marching band as they marched by as well.

Nevada vs Eastern Washington game report

Praising the Lord for another amazing gospel opportunity at the game. Lots of students heard the gospel, many students took gospel tracts as well. There were two incidents where some students would try to distract over secondary means.

For example, one woman came up and claimed to be a Christian and loved what I was doing but wanted to suggest I move my son in his stroller slightly out of the sun. Another distraction happened later when two guys claiming to be Christians asked if they could pray for me. I told them” Sure, but are you guys Christians?”

One of the guys said they just recently got rebaptized and said they would go back to church and confess a priest. I gave them a gospel tract and encouraged them to confess to Christ and seek Him out more. They walked away and didn’t want to pray.

Overall had great crowds to street preach to. At the entrance where I stood, the marching band had to enter to get to the pre-game performance. So I got to street preach to the whole marching band as they marched by. One of them mocked me and said, “I am a lesbian!” And to my reply, I told her that her sin would condemn her and to repent.



Thankful for all the interactions and safety. Please be in prayer for the students who heard the gospel and took tracts.

Nevada vs. Georgia Southern

"Today I was able to set up near the student gate. My goal today was to preach and evangelize on the street with some of the Nevada students.

During pre-game and through the first half of the game students are in the back free lot partying, getting wasted, and living in sensuality. I handed out lots of tracts to students. Some students mocked bragging about their drunkenness and homosexuality. Another woman at one point not a student leaving the game told me “ This doesn't work.” I asked “How do you know that?” she responded, “I am a Christian that is how.”
There was also a young lady who was a student there who came up and asked why I did evangelism. But she was very enthusiastic she was able to ask religious questions. She told me how she is wrestling between wanting to live for the world but she wants to know God as well. She was in a rush so I quickly explained the gospel to her and gave her a “Way of Salvation” tract.

You also might notice in my photos all the smoke behind the stadium. 2 hours before
the game a fire broke out south of Reno at Davis Creek and blew up drastically in the last few hours. At the moment 1,800 acres have burned up.


Please be in prayer for those who took the tracts, the young lady who heard the gospel, and also all those in Reno currently getting affected by the fire and evacuations."
