TASTE OF CHICAGO

What is happening:


Taste of Chicago Food Festival takes place in Grant Park, Chicago, and throughout the city and is estimated to take place from Friday, September 5 to Sunday, September 7


Lord willing, SFOI will be there and is looking for 10-15 evangelists to join the team to preach the Gospel to the festival attendees and local citizens; minister to them in the moment and potentially refer them to a Bible teaching church or ministry for disciples.


The goal is to evangelize and minister to the festival attendees and local citizens at the Taste of Chicago Festival as they spend time in the area.

 

If you can't attend "Sponsor An Evangelist" (donate the fee) for someone to go in your stead: SAE.
