"When Satan throws a party, I wanna be there," said Mark Cahill at the Fishers of Men Evangelism Conference.

When 300,000 people show up at one event, it's hard to ignore the outreach opportunity this presents. "You don't have to spend millions throwing an event to draw unbelievers," said Cahill. "Hybels and Warren started doing that a few decades ago, but you'll never find the early church doing this in the book of Acts. Now if an unbeliever shows up at a church service, that's great, but church is for believers, not unbelievers. Let Satan draw the crowd, then you go witness to them."

Last weekend over 100 believers from the midwest showed up to listen to globe-trotting evangelists, Andy Lapins and Mark Cahill. Andy taught a powerful message on the primacy of the law in evangelism and Cahill convicted the crowd to tears about reaching lost people all around them.

Saturday evening and Sunday morning, we mixed into the crowd of over a quarter million people and preached the gospel. Open air preachers, vendors, mardis gras celebrators, and race car exhaust filled the air.
