Hundreds of young people hungry for God packed out a football stadium in Denham, Louisiana last week to hear the gospel message of Christ.
A handful of local churches with the Eastern Louisiana Baptist Association hosted the GO TELL AMERICA Crusade in partnership with evangelist Rick Gage, founder of GO TELL Ministries in Duluth, Ga.
Leaders with the Baptist association said they felt a strong desire to reach people outside a church setting.

“The preparation for the crusade has involved much work and God has reached across denominational lines in our parish to unite His church in this mission,” Rev. Leo Miller, pastor at First Baptist Church of Denham Springs told the Baptist Message.
/**/“We agreed to unite in reaching the lost in our parish by setting aside political and theological differences. We are united in our common beliefs that salvation is in Jesus alone and the Word of God is our authority. What a joy it has been to pray together, serve together, and share the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ together,” he continued.
Nearly 500 people were recruited to help organize the effort and another 500 were assigned to pray for the event.
Miller says churches worked together to deliver door hanger bags containing a gospel tract, DVD of the Jesus Film, and event flyer to more than 45,000 homes in the area.
Word got out and hundreds showed up to the Denham Springs High School football stadium from March 16-19.
The GO TELL AMERICA Crusade featured a number of speakers including Al Robertson, the oldest son of Duck Dynasty’s Phil and Kay Robertson; LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier; Adrian Despres, former University of South Carolina football team chaplain and current speaker with Forge Ministries, and many others.
