100,000 at Bonnarro Encounter Evangelism Explosion
By Larry Tomczak - June 17, 2019
The largest camping music festival in North America had a sell out attendance this year of 80,000 alongside 20,000 staff gathering outside Nashville. Scores encountered the love of God and the transformative message of the gospel.
“I was so lonely. I thought no one cared for me. I met believers around the tent. They showed me how to receive the love of Jesus.”
“I could feel darkness all around me. Then I met the Jesus people and they led me to Christ. I could literally see the darkness cloud leave me.”
“I went to church but was religious. Then I met ‘fired up’ Christians at the outreach tent. I had never witnessed this before. I wanted what they had and I prayed and my life is so different now!”

Last year over 750 conversions were recorded at the event! Multitudes were baptized in water.
With our nation in one of the most turbulent times in its history similar to the Revolutionary War and Civil War periods, Christians are awakening to our sacred responsibility to evangelize the lost. Legislation and education are extremely important but only regeneration changes lives and can lead to a desperately needed Third Great Awakening.
Jesus showed us the way by His example in lifestyle evangelism. He said:
“For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost” (Lk.19:10).
Because He directs us as leaders to “be examples to the flock” (1Pet.5:3), we who are pastors shouldn’t delegate the task to an “evangelism team” while secluding ourselves to study and prepare sermons. I count it an honor to join leaders in our city on the front line of missional living.
Enjoy these pictures from our adventure in lifestyle evangelism. Gain fresh inspiration from the video followed by a message from the born-again mayor who’s a catalyst for our being on the grounds. Note how important it is for Christians to be salt and engage in the political process to strategically put people in positions of influence.
“How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?… How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring good news of good things!” (Rom. 10:14-15).

Two thousand years ago an itinerant preacher named Jesus, the Christ, used this same modus operandi when outside preaching before thousand of people, with great success.
There are many people who are hungry for God, but unwilling to go into a formal church service, because of their unanswered questions about such a worship service...
How will they greet me?
Will I be welcome?
Will they single me out and ask me embarrassing questions?
Will I be dressed appropriately?
A crowd of people in an outside setting, or an informal tent setting, frees those of a denomination where the gospel is no longer preached, or even one of the muslim faith, to find and ask individual believers questions, one on one, with relative anonymity, without fear of being reported to family or a controlling church with which he/she is affiliated.
In this setting, the inflated egos sometimes encountered in megachurches, are on the back burner, and do not become a hindrance to worship.
Thank God there are still preachers and teachers who are called and gifted by God to willingly give of their time and effort to glorify God in humble settings, where those who seek to worship God in spirit and in truth are given the opportunity to learn of Him, and to repent of past sins and declare their faith in Jesus Christ, the only name by which we may be saved, through the grace of God.
