Evangelists
Jason Cantrell – Kathleen, GA
I didn’t grow up as a Christian and from a very early age I enjoyed being a rebel. While in High School I got involved with alcohol and drugs and was arrested for the first time my senior year. By the age of 21, my sinful and self serving lifestyle led me into Federal Prison where I served 28 months. Praise be to the Lord that He used this experience to get my attention and turn my life around. He converted me while in prison and then sent a man to disciple me. We got to spend a year and a half just studying the Bible. I now look back on my time in prison with thanksgiving. After being released in 2000, I moved to Atlanta and joined a “house church” that met in a coffee shop in Little 5 Points. As a church, we tried to serve the community and be faithful witnesses in this dark neighborhood. We got to know, serve, and share the gospel with the locals, the homeless community, and with runaways. I still enjoy going down to Little 5 Points and sharing the gospel. For the past 3 years the focus of my ministry has been to pre-born children, their parents, and those involved in the abortion industry. I try to offer help to all those who want it in the name of Christ, but I believe in a gospel centered approach to this sin. I believe in preaching the gospel and calling sinners to repent and believe on Christ. I also try to encourage the church to be a voice for the voiceless and to take a stand against the American Holocaust.

Joshua is happily married to Rachael and they live with their son Isaiah in Belle Center, Ohio. The goodness of God led Joshua to repent of his sin and trust in Christ alone for forgiveness at a young age. Joshua is still a work in progress, but he thanks God for His grace in sending Jesus to save him from the hell he deserves, and sealing his soul unto the day of redemption for all eternity
Daryl Updike – Bordentown, NJ
My name is Daryl J Updike. I am the husband of Karen Updike and father of Eleanor (aka Roo) Updike. I live in Bordentown NJ and currently work as a carpet cleaner. I have been a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ since 2012 when a friend gave me the movie “Fireproof.” That’s when I heard the gospel. I realized I was not a good person and I needed a Savior. Growing up in the Roman Catholic Church I always thought I was good enough on my own and God would forgive me because I wasn’t that bad. But I know that is not the gospel. I need the grace of God to believe that Jesus died for me and bore the wrath that should have been mine. Now I get His righteousness. Ever since I started to trust in Christ I wanted to tell the world that they needed to trust in Him too. They need to repent and believe the gospel. I’ve felt called to evangelize and preach. Recently I enrolled as a student at Whitefield Theological Seminary in the M.Div program. I desire to study the word of God and tell the world Who He is and what He has done. I pray and can just be used by God for whatever He chooses. Romans 1:16 is a vs that I pray drives my life.
SFOI sets forth guidelines so the community of fans or souls attending a major sporting event can be reached with the Gospel. In other words the goal of SFOI is for as many souls as possible at a particular event to hear the Gospel both on one day and at each day of the event.
Here’s a couple of illustrations:
#1 for a pro football team the goal is to be at the stadium early enough on game day, typically 4 hours before kickoff, for the first worker and fan to hear the Gospel and to stay until the last fan enters the stadium which is typically 30 minutes after kickoff.
Because pro football teams play 10 home games SFOI is also at each home game so the people at every home game can the Gospel as often as possible and so the souls who attend only one home game can hear the Gospel too.
Thus the community of that particular team has been reached with the Gospel. Another and perhaps more descriptive way to describe the goal is that the community of that particular team is saturated with the Gospel.
#2 at an annual multiple day major sporting event like the Kentucky Derby SFOI arrives early enough, 8:00 AM, on both days of the event, Friday and Saturday, to the fan and worker can hear the Gospel and also stays until the last fan leaves Churchill Downs which is typically 8:00 PM.
In this way the fans and workers or the community of the Kentucky Derby is reached with the Gospel or as said earlier it is saturated with the Gospel.
The opposite view of ministry is to arrive for a couple of hours on one or both days of the Kentucky Derby or in illustration #1 a couple of hours during one game for the pro football team. The Word preached is always efficacious and those souls who hear the Word during that time are edified.
But the Community of the Kentucky Derby weekend or the pro football team is not reached which again is the goal of SFOI. SFOI believes the goal os reaching the community allows the Word to penetrate the community more deeply both in the lives of individuals and in the community as a whole. The Word leavens more when it is sown and watered more abundantly. Or you can say the Kingdom comes and is established more firmly with it is proclaimed and ministered more consistently.
