Another brother by the name of Pat and I arrived at the free speech area at about 12:10pm. I was expecting to meet my Pastor as well but was informed he would be over an hour late.
I started the preaching right after the class break and did not get much of a response from students besides the usual passers that scream obscenities, laugh and mock. My pastor arrived at about 12:30 and within 5 minutes he began preaching to a thinly scattered crowd of 5 - 12 students.
He absolutely blasted them with the Gospel for about 50 minutes with very little interruption from hecklers and without taking many questions. He then handed the crowd of about 20 or so over to Brother Pat who preached from roughly 1:30 to 3pm. He answered many questions, and that with scriptures and with detailed answers. The crowd fluctuated and had increased when he handed it over to me.
I immediately had to deal with one tall consistent heckler who also heckled Pat with silly questions and lots of screaming. The crowd gradually increased to over 65 at the max, and many students began contradicting and blaspheming. I preached the word and rebuked sharply all that opposed Jesus and the way of holiness. Most of the preaching consisted of straight forward scripture and the warnings of sin, hell, judgment, and the power and responsibility to live free from sin through Christ Jesus. I stopped preaching just after 4pm, and we left the campus with about 30+ students still in the area.

Brother Pat and I arrived on campus just before noon and I began preaching about 11:55am with warm weather and few clouds in the sky. Besides the passers yelling random obscenities I gathered not much attention, and many of the listeners that were there were 20 yards away. I then answered questions from a couple students who were somewhat reasonable. With very little foot traffic going on I discontinued preaching at about 12:25 and Brother Pat began preaching and gathered a crowd of about 50 after the next class break which fluctuated.
I had a good talk with a Christian girl about the preaching and persecution which occurred in the Book of Acts, and about the ability to live free of sin. She quietly listened after she asked questions and seemed very sincere and open to what I was saying.
Pat did a good job preaching and answering questions and handed the crowd of 40 or so over to me around 2: 45pm.The crowd gradually began to increase and I immediately had to deal with a weekly heckler who Pat also had to put up with for several minutes. He was zealous to teach us that the Earth is Billions of years old.
One rather large girl dressed very immodest who earlier professed salvation, after being reproved displayed her evil fruit by threatening and poking me, cussing, blaspheming and siding with other blasphemers the remainder of the afternoon. The crowd grew to nearly 100 at the max and closed in on me as many female hecklers began screaming and cussing. 2 or 3 cops arrived around 3:40 and did a good job of monitoring but not interfering. The crowd closed in on me and an extremely loud male homosexual began getting in my face and demanding that I address all his questions the way he wanted me too. He seemed to be the most sincere and receptive sodomite I have met, and did ask some good questions, but sad to say he is deceived thinking he is a saved Christian on his way to heaven.
I stopped preaching at 4:15 and pat and I talked to students for a few minutes before leaving the campus with several students in the area.
That night I attended service at my home church where Brother Micah preached for us and did a great job.
