DETROIT — Volunteers from Michigan Baptist churches distributed some 5,000 packets with evangelistic materials prior to a World Series game at the Detroit Tigers’ Comerica Park on Oct. 27.
The Oct. 27 game was the third game in the World Series between the Tigers and the San Francisco Giants. The Giants ended up sweeping the series with a win Oct. 28.
Michigan Baptists compiled the outreach packets that included materials from the North American Mission Board’s “Find It Here” campaign as well as trading cards of current and former Detroit Tigers with their testimonies on the back. About 20 volunteers participated in the packet assembly and distribution.
“Mobilizing churches in evangelism is one of our top priorities,” said Bobby Gilstrap, lead state missionary and executive director of the Baptist State Convention of Michigan. “When we saw this great opportunity open up to share Christ with thousands of fans, we just had to be a part.”
