John Parsons - Bryant-Denny Stadium

Matthew Cochran - Arcisure Stadium
Sunday, September 14, 2025
I was hoping a few others would join me, but ended up being just me on the streets for the Steeler game. I opened the season by reading from Proverbs, chapter 1, and then, after reading and preaching a little from that, I went on to John, chapter 5. Had a few people respond positively with God bless you. Other than that, no interactions was a peaceful day. Praise God
Brian Ninde - Lucas Oil Stadium
Sunday, September 14, 2025
Gospel Proclaimed. Tracts distributed. Conversations had. Prayers administered. Blessed day.
David Robert - Caesars Superdome
Sunday, September 14, 2025
In New Orleans yesterday, one brother stopped me again to say, "Thank you very much for what you guys are doing." While preaching about Jesus Christ, many people were seen nodding their heads in affirmation. Many others jeered. Several others doubled back to receive the materials we were distributing. Several people approached Lewis to ask for prayer. One man gave me a big hug. Half a case of Bibles and half a case of "13 reasons why you should not commit suicide, and 13 reasons why you should live" were given out. We're still fishing for men, David
Doug Renz - Bobby Dodd Stadium

Today a sold-out crowd of more than 50,000 Georgia Tech and Clemson fans poured in for the game, and I was there to preach the gospel of Christ crucified. The photos below show fans walking from the Marta train system toward the stadium.
One lady with her two grandchildren stopped and, knowing why I was there, thanked me for speaking the truth about Jesus. Two young men, Ian and Asher, were out campaigning and came over to encourage me, and they were very respectful about the preaching. Out of thousands, only one woman told me to “shut up," and that's exactly what the enemy wants us to do.
Jesus sent His disciples out two by two (Mark 6). Yet many times I’ve gone out alone, though that was not His example. This is my 4th year preaching at Georgia Tech, but with 51,000+ fans streaming in, it is far too big for one person to reach.
Next Saturday, September 20th, there will be another game. If you live near Atlanta, would you please pray about joining me? Together, we can proclaim Christ to thousands who need Him.
Tom Sheppard - Alamodome Stadium
Sunday, September 14, 2025
This past week, I proclaimed the Gospel at the Alamodome for about 2 1/2 hours as people were walking in. A little bit less crowded than last week, but the gospel was proclaimed nonetheless. Great one-on-one conversations as well.. Then on the Lord's day after Church, we met again in Boerne Square @ Marketdays with many great conversations, a little opposition, but also fruit of genuine reception to the gospel.
Steven Kendall - Ross-Ade Stadium
Saturday, September 13, 2025
Riley, Everett and Tim join me this week at Purdue University to preach and share the gospel of Jesus Christ. All the fans flowed in for 2 hours, unable to enter due to a supercell storm approaching. Then by God's grace, they all came past us again for another straight 2 hours while lightning and rain poured on us all. Though we got soaked, many heard the gospel and many questions were asked and answered, including how, as Christians and non-Christians, do we respond to what took place this week with Charlie Kirk and his assassinator, Tyler Robinson. Everett is handing out tracts.
Tom Brewer - Tiger Stadium
Saturday, September 13, 2025
LSU TIGERS vs Florida Gators outreach
Zoe White proclaiming the gospel
Heath Pucel & Dan Davis - Lambeau Field
Thursday, September 11, 2025
Being September 11th, as well as all that had happened in the week, gave us the perfect opportunity to provide Biblical answers to the crowds. Many were providing encouragement and saying, "Thank you for being out here." I was able to reconnect with the ticket scalpers, regular musician and transportation driver, Scott, and minister to them after the game started. More tracts were handed out than in previous games. Mike Henke has been a tract machine for the games.
Grayson Shaw - Allen E. Paulson Stadium
Saturday, September 13, 2025
First outreach of the year went very well. We had a good team mixed with some seasoned evangelists as well as some who were coming out for the first time. Jim and Grayson Shaw preached in the open air while the rest of the team passed out tracts and had personal conversations. Around 200 tracts were passed out, and RJ said that 3 people gave their lives to the Lord. We also got a few contacts to invite people to church the next day. Overall it was a good first outreach, and we are optimistic that we may be able to have a team of 10+ at some games this year. The Lord is working in Bulloch County GA.
Nick O'Berry - Williams-Brice Stadium
Saturday, September 13, 2025
South Carolina didn't disappoint with regard to attendance. Many fans showed up as expected. I was glad to see Anchor Baptist Church was out once again, passing out tracts. The atmosphere felt a little different as I believe recent events sobered people a little. The assassination of Charlie Kirk has been a game changer of sorts. I pray God will use this time to raise up more and more workers for the harvest.
