Tonight the Dallas Mavericks played the San Antonio Spurs in game six of their playoff series. The American Airlines Center hosted a “watch party” where people could bring lawn chairs out to the Victory Plaza on the south end of the arena and watch the game on the huge HD screens that they have there. About 1000 fans came out. The picture below is from after we were done witnessing and people are sitting around watching the game.
Prior to the watch party starting, my youngest son and I handed out tracts and I did some open air preaching. Lately, I’ve been studying the excellencies of Christ based on some teaching from Matt Johnson. Last Sunday, I read through the titles and descriptions of Jesus in the open air at the park. Unfortunately, then, I forgot to bring my voice recorder. This time, I brought my voice recorder, however, I ran out of memory. You can listen to the first 20 minutes or so online. Below is a picture of me reading the list. I’m standing at the corner of Houston and Olive in Dallas.
When I finished preaching, we put the box and back pack back in the car and then handed out some tracts. We even met an ex-Oklahoma football player who is born again. When I shared that with someone he asked “did you say boomer and he say sooner?” I told him no, I handed him a tract and said, “did you get one of these?” He asked, “what is it?” I told him it was a Gospel tract. He said, “oh, that’s great.” So I asked, “Are you a believer?” He said yes and then began to explain how he came to repentance and faith about two years ago. I gave him my contact info and he said he would call me. I pray that we can do some evangelism together.
Brendan was a real trooper and handed out a bunch of tracts!
