MLB Outreach May-June 2021
During May and June we have had two evangelists out preaching the Gospel for the MLB Outreach, both on behalf of SFOI and their own ministries.
MLB Outreach – Cincinnati Red’s Games
David Doerman and brothers have been preaching at Red’s games in Cincinnati In an effort to bring glory to God. The Cincinnati Red’s draw over 12,000 fans at every home game. Lord willing, we will proclaim the gospel at about 40 of the 81 home games.
Evangelize Cincinnati preaches at Red’s games to:
Proclaim the Gospel – We share the law and the gospel of Jesus Christ with Red’s fans as they arrive at Great American Ballpark. We warn them about sin and point them to the Savior.
Offer the Good Person Test – We offer the Good Person Test which points people to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Once people understand that they have broken the Ten Commandments, we share the gospel.
Distribute Gospel Tracts – We share million dollar bill gospel tracts with fans entering the game and fans congregating in the open bar area.
Then we pray for fruit. Join us in praying that God would grant Red’s fans the gift of repentance. 2 Timothy 2:25-26.
Take a look at their video from May 2021.
MLB Outreach Biscuits Games Montgomery, AL
David Day and brothers have been preaching for the Minor League Baseball games in Montgomery, AL. In early June David Day reported: One of the objections to Open-Air Preaching is how “Yelling” turns people off to the Gospel, isn’t effective, nice, or just not how evangelism should be done.
Last night outside the Riverwalk Stadium and every time we are there, there is this guy who often comes up as we are preaching. He walks up, raises his voice over ours, and begins yelling at all the people. The people respond by stopping whatever they are doing and then follow him inside. See, he works for the stadium, and he is yelling at them so they would all hear that they can come inside, he’s telling them what they want to hear. You get that? “IT IS WHAT THEY WANT TO HEAR.”
So, it’s not necessarily the yelling, lifting up your voice above the crowd, it is the message that is offensive to some, but to some, to those being saved, the message of the cross is the sweetest song they would ever hear.
Go lift up your voice and unapologetically tell of our King.
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
1 Corinthians 1:18
