Super Bowl Sunday

Today we headed out to the stadium where the super bowl will be played. We arrived at the stadium around noon. The area was already filling up with people. The 80 or so of split up into groups of 3-6 people. Each went to different areas around the stadium. Alex, Bobby and I headed to an area near the southeast corner of the stadium where a parking lot emptied to the street.

Bobby was carrying a wooden cross. Alex and I began handing out tracts. I started doing some stop light preaching where the police were directing traffic across the street. I had 60 seconds or so to get out the law and the gospel. We continued offering tracts.

Eventually Bill Adams joined us. He took his turn open air preaching and sharing scripture.

It seemed like people just kept coming and coming. At one point I heard someone ask of the parking lot would fill up and be closed. Of course the policeman had no idea. Meanwhile the stream of people started picking up more from the people one the sidewalk. As more people were coming up the sidewalk verses out of the parking lot, we decided to move to the other side of the parking lot entrance.

In this location we stood up on a slight embankment. From here, Bobby and I took turns reading scripture and preaching the gospel. I read 1 John and then later read the book of Galatians.

We were joined by a local group of evangelists. They helped hand out tracts and also preached with us.

At 5pm I meet up with three other guys going to Miami International airport and our driver from Faith Farms who dropped us at the airport.

I’ve witnessed at many NFL games in Dallas. But, I’ve never seen a crowd like this. So many people. And coming for so long. Six hours befor the game there were many people there. And they kept coming.

We handed out thousands of tracts, had one on one conversations, read the word and preached the gospel. God was glorified!

I’d like to thank Bill Adams for his faithfulness to organize these Super Bowl outreaches. This was the first one I went too. God willing, it won’t be the last.

I’d also like to thank Faith Farms for loaning the vans to our group. What a blessing they were.

Finally, many thanks to all the brothers and sisters in Christ that came down to Miami. It was great to fellowship with you. Those that spoke on Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings, lead prayer and worship, etc your efforts are appreiated. I learned a lot. I look forward to keeping in touch with you and having fellowship again in the future.
