Samford vs UGA

Saturday, Sept 10, 2022

Rich Suplita, Scott Phillips, and I were at Sanford Stadium today for the first UGA home game. We arrived about 3 hours before kick-off, as usual, and set up. The tuba section came out and played, which is usually our sign to begin preaching. This year they added another horn section that came out and played for a while, cutting into our preaching time. J

Scott began preaching as Rich and I passed out Gospel tracts. The crowd was steady all day but of course, thickened as kick-off time neared. Thousands of people were exposed to the Gospel. I say exposed because I have no way of knowing how many heard the complete Gospel message. All we know for sure is that many did and thousands had the opportunity to. After Scott, Rich preached and then I closed out the day, ending around 4:00 PM

I saw several people stop and listen to the preaching and there are always those lurking in the shadows listening that we do not see. Several people came by with encouraging words. As Rich was preaching a young boy came over and gave him a high-five.

Also when Rich was preaching an older gentleman came up to me and asked me to tell Rich to keep on going and encouraged us for being there. It is always nice when God sends his saints to encourage the preachers. We had a few come by with mocking actions and words but overall it was a friendly crowd today. A lot of tracts were given out as well.
