Columbus Winter Jam Gospel Outreach
Jesus’ final words before His ascension were not given to professionals only, but to ordinary believers who had been transformed by extraordinary grace: “You will be My witnesses” (Acts 1:8).
That calling still stands today. In a world filled with noise, opinions, and uncertainty, the simple, powerful message of who Jesus is and what He has done remains the only true hope. That’s why we’re inviting you to take part in the work of evangelism through our Gospel Outreach at the Winter Jam concert, where thousands will be waiting in long lines—open moments God often uses to open hearts.
Winter Jam concerts draw massive crowds, and with them come long lines—lines filled with people standing, waiting, and often willing to talk. These moments are not interruptions; they are divine appointments. While many are coming for music, we will be there to lovingly point people to the Savior the songs proclaim.
As we engage people in line at the Schottenstein Center on the Ohio State University campus, we’ll share the good news that:
- God is holy and righteous
- We are sinners in need of mercy
- Jesus lived the perfect life we could not live
- Jesus died the death we deserved
- Jesus rose again, offering forgiveness and eternal life to all who repent and believe
We won’t rely on our eloquence. We’ll rely on the gospel, which is “the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16). Every line holds eternal souls. Every conversation matters. And every believer has been entrusted with the message of reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18–20).
This outreach isn’t about counting conversations or patting ourselves on the back. It’s about obedience, love for the lost, and faithfulness to Christ. Some may hear and walk away. Others may hear and believe. All outcomes belong to the Lord. Stand shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow believers as we share Jesus with people waiting in Winter Jam lines—trusting God to do what only He can do.
