Walking among you.
Over the years I have and many of you others have preached in many different:
settings
places
events
occasions
countries
states........

One at a time (of course-it's all about the numbers) tell us where & maybe to whom you you preaching. It may have been years at a church where you have been the pastor. It may have been a last minute drop of the hat (& you dropped the hat) situation. It may have been on the mission field or as a guest speaker at a banquet. It have have been an ordinary service or something crazy may have happened.

Tell about it.
 
I once preached in a park along the ocean in Hawaii challenging college students to get lost people to a citywide crusade.
 
I once preached a revival for the local Cumberland Presbyterian Church and the Methodist Church.  A few independent Baptists showed up on the last night, but they sat in the back just in case :)
 
On at Night Bus at midnight driving back from Chicago.  Pounding on that ceiling with a broom handle sure brought the power down!  :)
 
I preached about 20 sermons in a steel mill using a 55 gallon drum as a pulpit... Good times!  :)
 
I only preach in my home. 

I am a mother, after all.  There's not a preacher on earth can top the sermon a mama can preach with just one look. 

Just sayin'.

You live vicariously through my wife! ???
 
how "aboat" on a cruise ship when the scheduled preacher got sick.
Glad it was not the ships doctor who got sick or we would have been in trouble.

I preached a generic sermon fit for any non denominational church in America and closed with a good clear gospel plan of salvation and a pink "Gods simple plan of salvation" tract for each on the way out.

One couple did see me and ask for more info about "salvation" They were clearly saved but needed some help with assurance.  The had very clear testimonies of salvation as kids but very little spiritual growth. we talked for 45 mins. or so.

I liked that Ford Porter tract that you passed out. I used those before attending HAC.

Many churches used it for many years until they realized that they could instead make a combo tract. Now some simply pass out advertising brochures complete with a picture of their pastor or church. Many of the ones that I've seen recently are now simply gospel-lite. They seem much more interested in someone coming to their church than sharing the more important life saving message.
 
I preached in an inner-city church, in Canton Ohio.

The Pastor's wife was home with their sick child.

That left 3 members, and my family (4 of whom were back at the room, sick)

I preached for over an hour.

It felt like the early days of a few of our church plants....

;D

While a student at HAC I was once invited by Carl Larent to go to the Pacific Garden rescue mission where he was preaching one night. I've never experienced anything like that previously.

Since that time I've preached many many times in rescue missions.

I remember that tract!
 
I've preached up and down this great country making the sky my highway trying to help pastors find that fresh oil they once had bringing soul winning back to the churches of America.
 
I am not or have ever been a pastor but I have preached several times at Pacific Garden Mission and hundreds of times at Cook County Department of Corrections.
 
While preaching a local church revival in a south Georgia church, the pastor invited me to preach in the jail on Sunday afternoon & some inmates were saved. Later in the week the mayor of the town came to the meeting where he too was saved.
