Kent St vs UGA

Saturday, Sept 24, 2022

It felt like fall when Rich and I arrived at Sanford Stadium on Saturday. Even though it was supposed to be an easy win the fans turned out in pretty large numbers.

Rich preached first as I offered tracts to passing fans. After about 45 minutes or so I preached as Rich passed out tracts. We had a lot of fellow believers stop by with encouraging words. One man and his children came up as I was preaching and listened until I was finished, amening the preaching. I had my own "amen corner" for a while. Several others came by offering encouraging words for Rich and I.

It was a great outreach with thousands of fans being touched by the Gospel and many encouraging the preachers. Rich asked me, before we started, if I ever felt like I was in a circus. I said, "like the freaks in a freak show?" And we agreed that we did. It was after that conversation that God continually sent His people to encourage us, making us feel like a little less of a freak show. :) We understand totally that we will look foolish to the world and we're fine with that, but it is amazing how God will send us encouraging words through His people.
