Good morning Bill, join with me in praising the Lord of heaven and earth! The Psalmist tells us repeatedly the Lord hears the cries of His people!

He has heard and is hearing our consistent prayers and is blessing His plan to use SFOI to mobilize evangelists. All glory to the Most High!

Music City Grand Prix is next weekend in Nashville, TN and there are 33 evangelists registered to attend. This event has become the second largest SFOI event. Ben Grady from Nashville is leading the event for the second year in a row.

Ben organizes 90% of the weekend. All SFOI does is process registrations, help a little with accommodations and send sheets and towels. The evangelists love this event and it attracts evangelists who do not attend other SFOI events.

This is a huge development. More Evangelists leading more fruitful events with SFOI's support is our next area of concentration. Hallelujah!

SFOI 1000 Football: Alex Burt kicked off the SFOI 1000 football program Thursday night with his live show. Alex is running the Program for the second year and very likely will lead the outreach at the College Football Championship in Houston the first weekend in January without me being in attendance.

Alex has a plan to recruit regional leaders who recruit evangelists. The ultimate plan here is that the evangelists who preach at College Games will meet at the College Football Championship to conclude the season.

Hallelujah! Ben and Alex's leadership allows me to pursue new opportunities for the Gospel to preached. For instance Lord willing August 15 - 20 I'm returning to Toronto, Canada area to work on the Grey Cup scheduled for Hamilton, Ontario Nov. 16 - 19. Here's the SFOI Canada web site's page about the Grey Cup: Grey Cup.

Imagine 20 Canadian evangelists in Hamilton, Ontario for 4 days preaching in Hamilton, Toronto and Niagara Falls. An amazing God given opportunity.

Thank you Bill for your faithfulness to bring us to this point. I can't say thank you enough to you Bill for your tremendous and amazing support over the years.

Let's rejoice today! Our God is above all; He cares for His people and desires above all that Christ is preached. "...if anyone serves Me (the Son) the Father will honor him." (John 12:26b).

So let's press on Bill! “To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.” (Rev. 5:13b)

NFL London & Africa Cup of Nations

Regarding the goal of new opportunities Lord willing Jean-Claude from the ivory Coast is willing to join the team in London for the NFL London mission.

Why? The Africa Cup of Nations is scheduled for the Ivory Coast next year, January 13 - February 11, and Jean-Claude is willing to work with me to organize teams to preach at the games there.

He says there are many open air preachers he knows. So he'll get to see what it's like to preach at a stadium plus in London.

If you are interested and able and want to donate to the expenses to fly Jean-Claude from Abidjan, Ivory Coast to London roundtrip the cost is less than $1,000. Plus $1,200 for his accommodations in London.

You can donate to Jean-Claude here: Sponsor An Evangelist. There is an option for the NFL London trip and a Custom option too.

MLB All-Star Team

Gerry Collins from Bakersfield, CA. Gerry has attended many SFOI events including to London 4 times. He's an excellent team member and a good, clear, resilient preacher.

In the pictures Gerry is preaching at our corner at T-Mobile Field. The white security barricades worked to our advantage in providing an impromptu free speech zone. A main gate into T-Mobile Park is across the sidewalk. Fans passed back and forth most of each day.

Gerry has couple of videos below too.
