Sports Fan Outreach International

Sports Fan Outreach International (SFOI) participates in the Great Commission by mobilizing, equipping and discipling teams of preachers and evangelists to proclaim Christ (Phil. 1:18) to fans at major sporting events like the Super Bowl, World Cup (soccer), Olympics, Final Four, and Rugby World Cup in the U.S.A. and around the world.

SFOI’s three distinctives are fellowship, teaching and outreach. Fellowship means that the Saints who participate are organized and minister together in teams and that the Saints’ accommodations are at the same location to facilitate interaction among everyone so they can get to know each other; teaching means that during the outreaches Pastors and Professors speak to us either about a specific topic or their area of expertise; and outreach means that the Saints are engaged in evangelistic outreach to the fans for six to eight hours per day.

SFOI now has established the George Whitefield program under the guise of Revival-USA which is for men who believe they are called to full-time evangelism. SFOI offers administrative support and practical and theological training for full-time evangelists. Contact us for more information and how to apply.

 

Our History

Sports Fan Outreach Int’l began formally nine years ago when Bill Adams, SFOI’s C.E. & O., organized the first Super Bowl Outreach in Tampa, FL. Since then the ministry has increasingly focused on organizing outreaches to major sport events like the Super Bowl, Final Four, World Cup, Olympics, etc.

Our Mission

Sports Fan Outreach International participates in the Great Commission by mobilizing, equipping and discipling teams of preachers and evangelists to proclaim Christ (Phil. 1:18) to fans at major sporting events like the Super Bowl, World Cup (soccer), Olympics, Final Four, and Rugby World Cup in the U.S.A. and around the world.

Our Values

SFOI’s three distinctives are fellowship, teaching and outreach. Fellowship means that the Saints who participate are organized and minster together in teams and that the Saints’ accommodations are at the same location to facilitate interaction amongst everyone so they can get to know each other; teaching means that during the outreaches Pastors and Professors speak to us either about a specific topic or their area of expertise; and outreach means that the Saints are engaged in evangelistic outreach to the fans for six to eight hours per day.

What We Do

Sports Fan Outreach Int’l’s goal is for fans attending major sporting events to hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ (Phil 1:18) in order that they may be provided an opportunity respond. The SFOI evangelist is there to both preach the Gospel and minister to the fans as they respond.The fans hear the Gospel as they participate in pre-game events either at the respective venue or at a fanfest** perhaps located in the downtown area of the host city. In other words the fans are not inside the venue when they hear the Gospel. The Gospel is communicated via preaching, distributing literature and individual conversations and all hearers are called to repent and believe the Gospel if they don’t and edified and ministered to if they do believe. All vision and mission statements, organizational and training efforts are designed to lead to fans hearing the Gospel at major sporting events.
