Preaching Location Two Hours Before First Pitch
On April 8th and 9th, believers from the Athens and Atlanta went out to Turner Field to declare in the open-air the gospel of Jesus Christ. The Atlanta Braves hosted the Philadelphia Phillies, and with both teams enjoying success last year it was a great match-up for opening day. Over the two days, seven believers preached and handed out tracts. Praise the Lord for Ty and Matthew Yoshimura, Scott Phillips, Peter Salas, Canyon Shearer, and Tyler Martin.
Our location was near the left field gate. We had foot traffic from off-site parking in addition to shuttles that dropped folks off every 10-15 minutes right in from of the corner where we were preaching. The picture is a view from under I-75/I-85 of where most of the outreach took place. Peter is standing in the street ready to hand out some tracts! In addition to this location, Ty and Matthew handed out tracts on the opposite side of the stadium on Friday while Canyon and Tyler went over to the opposite corner on Saturday.
Over the two days we gave out at least 1,300 tracts, exposited portions of Psalm 75, Jeremiah, Galatians, and Luke 18, and preached the gospel at least 15 times. We distributed 450 baseball trivia tracts and 850 tracts including I Love Jesus and Are You Born Again? The Word of God went forth with power. Preachers were being poured out by Christ as they pleaded with baseball fans to repent towards God and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ alone. We had great fellowship after the game on Saturday, ending with purchasing a meal for a homeless man named Barry. Praise the Lord!
